The Geography and the Environment Colloqui um Series

with Natacha Bruna\, Postdoctoral Associate at the Depar tment of Global Development\, Cornell University

African natural re sources and biodiversity are being promoted as mitigation tools and centra l for market-based solutions to the current environmental crisis. The impl ementation of climate mitigation policies in Mozambique resulted in the em ergence of green extractivism which entails the expropriation of emissions rights from rural poor in favour of historical polluters in form of carbo n credits.

Adverse impacts to rural livelihoods and subsistence res ulting from climate solutions inspires us to rethink climate justice as em ission reduction strategies seem to be unfairly prioritizing changing soci al relations and access to resources from rural poor and economically disa dvantaged\, rather than to address industrial change from powerful actors that have contributed to the crisis historically. \;
