REDD-Monitor’s top ten posts in 2021

Posted on 3 January 20223 January 2022

2021 was another year during which we failed to address the COVID-19 pandemic. The reasons for this failure are disturbingly similar to the reasons we’ve failed to address the climate crisis: A lethal combination of denial, and a reliance on market mechanisms, false solutions, and climate deals based on nothing more than wishful thinking and business as usual.

Here are REDD-Monitor’s top ten posts in 2021. Click on the images to read the posts:


1. Sabah’s Nature Conservation Agreement: A two million hectare carbon deal involving a fake director, an inequitable agreement, a history of destructive logging, massive corruption, a series of offshore companies, and a sprinkling of neocolonial racism
