The Carbon Fix

Forest Carbon, Social Justice, and Environmental Governance

Herausgeber: Paladino, Stephanie; Fiske, Shirley J

Beschreibung

Written by a diverse group of anthropologists, environmental researchers, environmentalists, and policy-makers, The Carbon Fix closely examines the current model for dealing with global warming-paying for carbon capture-and the negative effects this model has on rural communities, indigenous groups, and others in less developed regions who depend on or control carbon- sequestering lands.
