The Jamaican specialty coffee industry operates in an ecologically sensitive landscape that is institutionally, politically and socio-economically complex. Birthed under colonial rule, the industry has undergone a confluence of events that have shaped its contemporary organisation and exacerbated deeply rooted institutional and structural conditions. Through the lens of environmental justice, the paper sheds light on the plural claims to justice under changing climatic conditions and reveals the politics of adaptation within the context of market capitalism. Using stakeholder interviews, the paper captures the articulations and manifestations of injustice by exploring the local perceptions of procedural justice and justice as recognition. Through an examination of power and politics, the paper begins by contextualising the pre-existing conditions that shape the disabling environment in which smallholders operate. This includes the neoliberal restructuring of the industry, smallholders' access to low farm gate prices, expensive farm inputs, low-value chain participation, and limited support services. As these conditions are exacerbated by climate change impacts, the paper then discusses the disparity in justice claims between farmers and industry stakeholders surrounding the deployment of suitable climate change adaptation response. This is an area of contestation, as even though smallholders face multiple stressors, industry leaders have continued to operate the island's major coffee-producing spaces as areas where profits can be mined and privileges reinforced. Effectively, the smallholder livelihoods embedded within Jamaica's coffee-producing landscapes have been subjected to asymmetrical structures of power which legitimise whose voices are heard and which adaptation pathway takes precedence, thus generating injustices, nurturing vulnerabilities and stifling agency.

政治与权力的谈判：牙买加精品咖啡行业对环境正义的看法

牙买加精品咖啡行业在一个生态敏感的环境中运作，该环境在制度、政治和社会经济上都很复杂。该行业诞生于殖民统治下，经历了一系列事件，这些事件塑造了其当代组织，并加剧了根深蒂固的制度和结构条件。通过环境正义的视角，本文揭示了气候变化条件下对正义的多元诉求，并揭示了市场资本主义背景下的适应政治。通过对利益相关者的访谈，本文通过探索当地对程序正义和正义作为承认的看法，捕捉了不公正的表述和表现。通过对权力和政治的考察，本文首先将塑造小农经营的不利环境的现有条件联系起来。这包括行业的新自由主义重组、小农获得较低的农场出厂价格、昂贵的农业投入、低价值链参与度以及有限的支持服务。由于气候变化的影响加剧了这些情况，本文随后讨论了农民和行业利益相关者之间围绕部署适当的气候变化适应措施的正义主张的差异。这是一个有争议的领域，因为尽管小农面临多重压力，但行业领导者仍继续经营岛上的主要咖啡生产区，作为可以开采利润和强化特权的地区。实际上，牙买加咖啡生产地区的小农生计一直受到不对称权力结构的影响，这种结构使谁的声音被听到以及哪种适应途径优先合法化，从而产生不公正，滋生脆弱性并扼杀机构。
