Riofrancos (2022) raises concerns about Global North countries increasingly “onshoring” the extraction of critical resources to their own territory. As the author outlines, critical minerals required for renewable energy production have traditionally been “offshored” by countries in the Global North to countries in the Global South; a practice met with strong resistance by local communities and activists generally due to the “brutal exploitation of labor and devastating social and environmental consequences”. Importantly, these practices prevail, as visible in the “Manifesto for an Ecosocial Energy Transition From the Peoples of the South” (2023) that criticizes particularly the increase in resource extraction agreements that supply the raw materials needed to act out the “clean/green energy transition”. Riofrancos warns about precisely those diverging inequalities within Global North countries the second block has introduced us to. Onshoring resource extraction may evade neocolonial exploitation, although this will prevail in other forms, but poor, racialized, marginalized, often Indigenous communities in the North will suffer. Relatedly, Matthews and Silva (2024) powerfully call for scholars in the field of sustainable supply chain management to adopt justice lenses to unravel postcolonial economic structures. Otherwise, in the authors’ view, academics are complicit in the violent extractive practices the “sustainability” label makes invisible (77). Both Hochachka (2023) and Grabs et al. (forthcoming) narrow their analysis of global value chains to the coffee sector. The overarching consensus in both papers is that the coffee sector is already and increasingly deeply affected by the climate crisis and that this calls for climate-resilient interventions. Grabs et al. propose a multi-scalar climate resilience framework that centers on coffee farmer’s perspectives and needs.
