Listen to an interview with Eve Devillers, a researcher at the Oakland Institute, who speaks about a recent report that outlines the contemporary colonial nature of mass carbon offset schemes in African today. The report, recently out, entitled "Green Colonialism 2.0: Tree Plantations and Carbon Offsets in Africa," is live here: https://www.oaklandinstitute.org/green-colonialism-two-carbon-offsets-africa The report is described this way: Green Colonialism 2.0: Tree Plantations and Carbon Offsets in Africa examines the African Forestry Impact Platform (AFIP) bankrolled by European development finance institutions, Japanese oil interests, and an Australian investment firm. The AFIP exemplifies the green colonialism that President Ruto of Kenya is promoting on the continent — opening the door for more extraction of Africa's resources. Despite AFIP's claim of promoting “nature-based solutions,” a troubling pattern of exploitation and greenwashing underscores its investments, stakeholders, and financial backers.
