Resumo: | Growing informal urbanization poses a significant challenge to environmental governance in the Global South. This paper examines the theoretical literature linking environmental governance to informal settlements and social exclusion in cities. Though the research output on environmental governance is growing, the attention is mainly focused on cities of the Global North, while theoretical insights and empirical data on cities of the Global South is still far from adequate. In a search of publications of the last decade in Scopus and Web of Science, only 1% of the research output on environmental governance addresses informal settlements. The mechanisms of environmental modernization and ecosocialism are considered for suitability to address environmental challenges where informal settlements are widespread. The relevance of these mechanisms and existing theoretical frameworks for anticipating urban governance responsiveness to environmental pressures in the Global South is unknown. The paper creates awareness of the need for future research on urban governance where informal settlements are the norm. This is relevant for scholars working on the Sustainable Development Goals at city scale. |

Este documento examina la literatura teórica que vincula la gobernanza ambiental con los asentamientos informales y la exclusión social en ciudades. Aunque el volumen de investigaciones sobre gobernanza ambiental está creciendo, la atención de los manuscritos existentes se centra en las ciudades del Norte Global, mientras que los conocimientos teóricos y los datos empíricos sobre las ciudades del Sur Global son aún incipientes. En una búsqueda de publicaciones de la última década en Scopus y Web of Science, sólo el 1% de los manuscritos sobre gobernanza ambiental aborda los asentamientos informales. Los mecanismos de modernización ambiental y ecosocialismo se analizaron en cuanto a su idoneidad para abordar los desafíos ambientales en ciudades donde los asentamientos informales son prevalentes. Se desconoce la pertinencia de estos mecanismos y los marcos teóricos existentes para anticipar la capacidad de respuesta de la gobernanza urbana a las presiones ambientales en el Sur Global. Este documento crea conciencia de la necesidad de futuras investigaciones sobre gobernanza urbana donde los asentamientos informales son la norma. Esto es relevante para los académicos que trabajan en los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible a escala de ciudad.A crescente urbanização informal representa um desafio significativo para a governança ambiental no Sul Global.

Os mecanismos de modernização ambiental e ecosocialismo foram analisados quanto à sua adequação para enfrentar desafios ambientais em cidades onde assentamentos informais são predominantes. A relevância desses mecanismos e dos quadros teóricos existentes para antecipar a capacidade de resposta da governança urbana às pressões ambientais no Sul Global é desconhecida.
