Preguntas frequentes de las comunidades: Mercados de carbono
Summary
A guide by Friends of the Earth International designed to help indigenous peoples and local communities understand and resist carbon markets, which the organization characterizes as a false climate solution that threatens land rights and ecosystems.
Key insights
- Carbon markets, emission offsets, and carbon credits are described as a continuation of capitalism, neocolonialism, and extractivism, systems that commodify nature and can lead to land theft for monoculture plantations or conservation projects like REDD/+.
- Carbon projects frequently violate the rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities, often involving the theft of land and a lack of proper consultation, resulting in severe damages.
- The guide aims to provide technical information and clear answers to common questions to help communities protect their rights, lands, livelihoods, and the environment from the risks associated with carbon markets.
