Doble riesgo: La amenaza creciente que implican para la soberanía alimentaria y la agroecología las falsas soluciones climáticas

This report by Friends of the Earth International critiques 'net zero' strategies, specifically 'nature-based solutions', 'natural carbon removal', and 'carbon offsetting', arguing that they threaten food sovereignty, land rights, and agroecology.

• The report argues that 'net zero' promises from over 1,500 large companies, including those in the oil, gas, and food industries, do not represent actual emission reductions but rather a commitment to offset emissions by a future date.
• Nature-based solutions pose a significant risk of land grabbing and dispossession for Indigenous Peoples, peasant farmers, and rural communities due to the vast amount of land required to meet corporate net-zero goals.
• The report provides specific examples of the scale of land required for corporate offsets: Nestlé's plans could require planting trees on at least 4.4 million hectares annually, while Shell's plans to scale nature-based solutions would require an area nearly the size of Brazil.
• The use of soil carbon capture for offset bonds benefits large agribusiness, fossil fuel, and technology companies through the mass acquisition of land and data, potentially forcing small-scale and peasant producers into intensive agricultural practices for decades.
• The report asserts that agroecology—which focuses on resource efficiency, resilience, social equity, and environmental responsibility—is incompatible with 'nature-based solutions' and risks being co-opted to promote false climate solutions.
