Carbon Colonialism

Carbon Colonialism

Definition

A critique of climate solutions that allow wealthy nations to offset emissions by exploiting land and resources in poorer regions, often without consent.

Interpretation

The old story in green clothing. Carbon colonialism shows how the climate crisis is also a justice crisis. Real solutions don’t outsource harm β€” they regenerate everywhere, not just where the rich live.

Living Invitation
