The article proposes that climate change makes enduring colonial injustices and structures visible. It focuses on the imposition and dominance of colonial concepts of land and
self-determination on Indigenous peoples in settler states. It argues that if the dominance of these
colonial frameworks remains unaddressed, the progressing climate change will worsen other colonial injustices, too. Specifically, Indigenous self-determination capabilities will be increasingly
undermined, and Indigenous peoples will experience the loss of what they understand as relevant
land from within their own ontologies of land. The article holds that even if settler states strive
to repair colonial injustices, these efforts will be unsuccessful if climate change occurs and decolonization is pursued within the framework of a settler colonial ontology of land. Therefore, the article
suggests, decolonization of the ontologies of land and concepts of self-determination is a precondition for a just response to climate change.
