“Instruments such as Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forests Degradation (REDD), for example, allow polluters to continue polluting by assigning token forest patches in the global south with values of carbon allegedly stored in perpetuity in the trees. The logic is you pollute and I offset. While nations engaged in this false solution pretend they have taken action, impacted forest communities are cut off from their natural resources and the lucky ones get engaged as forest guards!”
