Carbon Credits Driving Theft of Indigenous Lands with Fiore Longo of Survival International

Breaking Green

The 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28), was held from November 30 to December 12 2023 in Dubai. Described by some as the "Blood Carbon COP", COP 28 paved the way for a massive expansion of carbon credits.
The carbon credit market is disastrous for Indigenous Peoples and represents a major new way for governments, corporations and conservation NGOs to profit from the theft of Indigenous lands.
On this episode of Breaking Green we will talk with Fiore Longo of Survival International- an organization formed in 1969 to promote the rights of Indigenous Peoples as contemporary societies with a right to self-determination.

Fiore Longo is a campaigner at Survival International, the global movement for tribal peoples and is the director of Survival International France and Spain. She also coordinates Survival’s conservation campaign, and has visited many communities in Africa and Asia that face human rights abuses in the name of conservation.
