Supplementary materials. Do laws provoke or prevent green grabbing? A systematic review.

As the ecological transition accelerates, green grabbing is expected to intensify. Our systematic review of 80 empirical cases offers an overview of how soft and hard legal frameworks can both enable and prevent green land acquisitions. While current international development policies legitimise, and national laws operationalise green grabs, accelerating the shift from communal to private property regimes, some cases highlight the transformative potential of “law from below.” These bottom-up legal reforms, driven by grassroots initiatives, may offer meaningful resistance to mitigate the impacts of green grabbing.

随着生态转型进程持续加速，绿色圈地（green grabbing）现象预计将进一步加剧。本研究通过对80个实证案例开展系统综述，全面梳理了软硬法律框架如何同时发挥助力与遏制绿色土地收购行为的作用。当前国际发展政策为绿色圈地赋予合法性，国内法律则将其落地实施，进而加速了从集体产权向私有产权的制度转型；部分案例则凸显了“自下而上的法律”的变革潜力。这类由基层行动推动的自下而上法律改革，或可提供切实有效的抵抗手段，以减缓绿色圈地带来的各类影响。
