Managing private and public adaptation to climate change (2012, background): “Bumpus and Liverman (2008) illustrate that carbon offset markets were initially created by non-state actors concerned with lack of public action on greenhouse gas mitigation.”
Preemption, precaution, preparedness: Anticipatory action and future geographies (2010, background): “The result has been a complex set of spatial relations whereby excess emissions in one place (usually in the global North) are compensated for by reductions in another (usually in the global South) (Bumpus and Liverman, 2008: 131).”
Carbon trading: Current schemes and future developments (2011, background): “Some conceptualise the emerging carbon markets as neoliberal ‘‘accumulation by decarbonisation’’ (Bumpus and Liverman, 2007), while others reject carbon trading on the grounds that it ‘‘reduces the political space available for education, movement building and planning around the needed fair…”
Win-win scenarios at the climate–development interface: Challenges and opportunities for stove replacement programs through carbon finance (2012, positive): “…however, particularly from coordinating agencies, have increased over the past decade (Nalinakumari and Maclean, 2005), and within carbon finance, there is a premium placed on good governance in the generation and accounting of carbon offsets (Bumpus and Liverman, 2008; Bumpus, 2011).”
Offsetting Benefits? Analyzing Access to Forest Carbon (2010, background): “…opens up a new space for nonstate actors to participate actively in climate governance (Betsill, 2009; Lovell et al, 2009; Newell and Paterson, 2009), while for others it creates new spaces for profit, colonialism, and accumulation (Bachram, 2004; Bumpus and Liverman, 2008; Lohmann, 2005).”
Market mechanism or subsidy in disguise? Governing payment for environmental services in Costa Rica (2012, background): “…forests were already so well protected by the national park system at the program’s outset—thus raising the question of ‘‘additionality’’ in PES payments (Bumpus and Liverman, 2008)—and that, as a middle-income country, opportunity costs for forest conservation in Costa Rica were too high to…”
Blockchain Practices, Potentials, and Perspectives in Greening Supply Chains (2018, background): “Calculation and the additionality requirements have made them controversial [45].”
“Fixing” Climate Change by Mortgaging the Future: Negative Emissions, Spatiotemporal Fixes, and the Political Economy of Delay (2019, neutral): “…more common ways in which an ecologised conceptualisation of the spatiotemporal ﬁ x has been deployed in the wider literature (e.g. Bryant et al. 2015; Bumpus and Liverman 2008; Holgerson and Malm 2015; McCarthy 2015), though Ekers and Prudham ’ s argument shows that it need not be limited to that.”
Coal, Climate Justice, and the Cultural Politics of Energy Transition (2019, background): “…around energy transitions dismisses mounting evidence that policy measures introduced for the ostensible purpose of carbon reduction have already begun to replicate and compound patterns of exclusion and inequality (Bumpus and Liverman 2008; Büscher and Fletcher 2015; Fairhead et al. 2012).”
Understanding Carbon Offset Technologies (2010, background): “…the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), but much of it is polarised, either for or against offsetting, often on principles and values rather than detailed empirical investigation or a careful assessment of different types of offsets (for exceptions see Boyd et al. 2007a,b; Bumpus and Liverman 2008).”
Governing the transition to renewable energy: A review of impacts and policy issues in the small hydropower boom (2017, background): “Mitigation efforts have been faulted for creating negative social outcomes, and failing to deliver on promised emissions reductions (Bumpus and Liverman, 2008; Lohmann, 2008; Lovell and Liverman, 2010).”
Geographies of money and finance I: Cultural economy, politics and place (2011, background): “Similarly, building on a wider interest in the operation of markets for the trade of carbon futures and options (Bailey and Maresh, 2009; Bumpus and Liverman, 2008; MacKenzie, 2009), KnoxHayes (2009) has examined the importance of institutional proximity (understood as shared working practices and…”
Contesting the market-based nature of Mexico’s national payments for ecosystem services programs: Four sites of articulation and hybridization (2013, background): “, 2012) and Costa Rica (Fletcher and Breitling, 2012), and markets for forest-based carbon offsets broadly (Lovbrand and Stripple, 2006; Bumpus and Liverman, 2008; Bailey and Wilson, 2009; Boyd, 2009; Lovell et al., 2009).”
