Deep dives
Exploitation of Carbon Credit Systems
The potential exploitation inherent in carbon credit programs is highlighted, particularly within initiatives like the Green Plus program in Latin America. These programs often fail to empower local communities, as they centralize profits and decision-making with foreign third parties rather than benefiting the local populace directly. Instead of allowing local governments and communities to trade carbon credits, the profits are funneled through entities linked to wealthy institutions, leaving locals with minimal control over the funds that affect their lives and environments. This reflects a larger trend of framing environmental initiatives as beneficial while they ultimately serve to disenfranchise vulnerable populations.
