Carbon Markets and the Question of Colonialism (Fifth Episode in Podcast Series "Olive Shoot") [Audio]
Publisher: Elsa Barron
Date: 2021
Topics: Climate Change
In this episode, Elsa examines one of the most controversial issues of the COP26 negotiations: article six. Article six creates a carbon market mechanism where developed countries can invest in emissions reduction projects in less-resourced nations and then count those emissions reductions as their own, creating the term “net-zero.” Is this mechanism a helpful way forward or an all-too-familiar iteration of colonialism? Join Elsa as she talks with COP26 negotiator, Yasmine Ben Miloud of Zero Waste Tunisia, and Professors of Law, Sharon Mascher and David V. Wright of the University of Calgary, as we dig deeper into the subject of carbon markets and environmental peacebuilding.
