Carbon Trading

Carbon trading has been is in the headlines recently after claims that an Australian company has been involved in efforts to swindle Papua New Guinean land holders into handing over the rights to carbon stored in their forests.
Sydney based company, Carbon Planet, has allegedly been using fake carbon certificates to claim the rights to the carbon stored in forests which legally belong to Papua New Guinea's indigenous people.
The company was intending to sell the credits through a planned UN scheme called 'Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation' - better known as Red.
The revelation has prompted severe criticism from environment groups who warn that the proposed Red scheme could have devastating impacts in developing countries.
Flint Duxfield has the story.

When Clouds Clear

The 4th Sydney Latin American Film Festival is in town til September 13. The 3rd Degree's Tessa Dowdell went along to a screening of 'When Clouds Clear' on Tuesday night, a heart-wrenching account of one village's battle against big mining companies in the heart of the Amazon in Ecuador.

Following the film was a panel discussion led by Alejandra Canales, including Uncle Neville Chappy Williams of the Wiradjuri nation who is fighting the Lake Cowal gold mine in central NSW, Natalie Lowrey from Friends of the Earth Australia, and film-maker Simone Francis.

Here he talks about how a new regional Movement of Climate Change Affected Peoples is responding to the pressures of climate change with awareness raising, permaculture techniques and low-level technologies as well as putting up resistance to inappropriate development.
