Preguntas frecuentes carbono mercados de de las comunidades

The document argues that carbon markets are 'false climate solutions' that allow major polluters to continue emitting greenhouse gases through 'greenwashing' while causing harm to Indigenous Peoples and local communities. It describes how carbon credits are generated from projects—including nature-based solutions and technological patches—and warns that these often lead to land grabbing, human rights violations, and the failure to actually reduce global emissions. The guide provides a framework for communities to identify predatory contracts, demand Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), and organize international solidarity to oppose the financialization of nature.

• Carbon markets are characterized as 'false climate solutions' and 'greenwashing' tools that enable large corporations and governments to avoid reducing their own emissions by purchasing credits to 'neutralize' or 'offset' their pollution.
• Carbon credits are based on the claim that one credit equals one ton of CO2 reduced, avoided, or removed from the air, with prices fluctuating typically between $5 and $100 USD depending on the project type and market.
• Nature-based solutions (SBN), including REDD+ and reforestation, are criticized for promoting 'green colonialism' and the financialization of nature, often resulting in massive land grabbing and the violation of ancestral knowledge of Indigenous and rural communities.
• The document asserts that carbon project calculations are often scientifically flawed because they fail to account for the complexity of ecosystems and natural variations like forest fires, leading to fraudulent credits.
• Technological 'patches' such as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) are described as ineffective, costly, and harmful fictions that do not solve the climate crisis.
• Carbon projects can severely threaten community autonomy, including access to land, water, food, traditional medicines, and spiritual practices, while often failing to deliver promised financial benefits.
