Advancing future-oriented perspectives in political ecology and critical agrarian studies, this paper examines projected land use
and land cover change (LULCC) dynamics in four ‘archetypal’ scenarios foregrounded by the IPCC for limiting global warming
to 1.5°C by 2100. Focusing on the Global South, we explore how these archetypes project a radical reversal of historical LULCC and rural population trends, potentially implying a considerable rescaling of contemporary land rush dynamics. Taken together,
land-based climate mitigation futures highlight risks related to the (re)production of relative surplus populations through
processes of rural enclosure and accumulation by dispossession in the Global South.
