Descrição
This event is focused on raising awareness on the unchecked spread of carbon colonialism disguised as climate solutions. It aims to vehemently denounce carbon markets schemes such as REDD, TFFF and others and highlight the gross implications of allowing planet scaled geoengineering experiments that do not reduce emissions nor solve the climate crisis. In the face of rising environmental challenges, once again the global south’s natural resources are being presented as tools for climate change mitigation and adaptation processes. This revived scramble for urgent solutions is leading to new age carbon colonialism which perpetuates the destructive extractivist systems and structures which are historically responsible for the climate crisis.

Relations et intentions
Our participation at the WSF is intentionall directed at creating awareness about the No REDD in Africa Network(NRAN) and also critically examine how extractive activities,
land dispossession and ecological destruction are intensifying conflict,
weakening community resilience and deepening existing inequalities and the
challenges of human security. It will also provide a platform for networking with other communities across the continent,
experts, activists and stakeholders to collectively explore people-centred
alternatives, advocacy strategies and policy pathways towards ecological
justice and accountable governance.
