A decolonial and participatory research approach to envision equitable transformations towards sustainability in the Amazon

Together with colleagues, ILS-Researcher Barbara Schröter has published an article in the journal „Futures“. They present three radical visions of the Amazon they co-created with 20 Black, Indigenous, and other Women of Color (BIWOC) from the Putomayo department in Colombia. Storytelling serves as a tool to capture the BIWOCs differentiated experience of the world and their collective emancipation from different forms of oppression. This way, western dominated imaginaries are challenged and decolonial practices incorporated in to sustainability transformation research. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.futures.2025.103638.
