ABSTRACT
Deforestation and land conversion have dramatic consequences to biodiversity and disease emergence, but they are also deep-rooted in historical forces involved in environmental injustice. Global guidelines tackling global crises approach the problem using top-down formulas that often fail to match local needs and priorities, and are rarely evaluated for local suitability, implications, and impacts. Motivated by the report of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) workshop, published in 2020, we reflect on how drivers of zoonotic disease emergence are linked to historical injustices and how global initiatives tackling global crises are prone to reproducing colonial structures. We provide examples of local governance strengthening through horizontal and interdisciplinary collaborations, and how the support of local solutions can build resilience against global crises.
