Perguntas Frequentes carbono mercados de da Comunidade

The document argues that carbon markets are a continuation of colonial and capitalist systems that allow major polluters to avoid reducing emissions through 'greenwashing'. It explains how carbon credits are generated—often through flawed calculations in nature-based solutions or technological fixes—and details the risks to communities, including land grabbing and the violation of indigenous rights. The guide provides practical advice for communities to identify predatory contracts, exercise their right to say no, and seek alternatives like community forest management and agroecology.

• Carbon markets are characterized as 'false climate solutions' that enable large polluters to continue emitting greenhouse gases by purchasing credits to 'offset' their emissions, a process described as 'greenwashing'.
• Carbon credits are based on the claim that one credit equals one tonne of CO2 reduced, avoided, or removed from the air, with market prices fluctuating between US$ 5 and US$ 100.
• Nature-based solutions (NBS) and REDD+ projects are criticized for facilitating massive land appropriation in the Global South and relying on flawed calculations that ignore ecosystem complexity and often utilize non-native monocultures to lower costs.
• Technological solutions such as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) are described as 'pure fiction', expensive, and harmful to both the environment and communities.
• The document identifies a 'double danger' where some carbon credit standard-setting bodies also act as certification bodies, removing external scrutiny and independent verification.
• Carbon projects can severely threaten community rights, including access to land, water, food, traditional knowledge, and self-governance, often ignoring the principle of Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC).
