The document argues that carbon markets, offsetting systems, and carbon credits are 'false climate solutions' rooted in capitalism, neocolonialism, and extractivism.

• Carbon markets and offsetting systems are described as false climate solutions created by and for polluting companies, which often obscure their origins when agreements are signed with communities.
• The document links carbon markets to systemic issues such as capitalism, neocolonialism, and extractivism, stating that these systems monetize nature and lead to land grabbing for monoculture plantations or nature conservation projects like REDD+.
