Putting Justice into the Climate Debate
This workshop will decode and explore ‘Climate Justice’ as a concept
through the use of popular education tools to ensure maximum
participation. The aim will be to gain a greater understanding of where
the concept of climate justice comes from historically and highlight
the importance of grassroots-based struggles related to environmental
and social change.
Speakers: Joanna Cabello, Oscar Reyes, Kevin Smith and Tamra Gilbertson
Durban Group for Climate Justice
Workshop 1:
Carbon Market Crimes, The Kyoto Years (to date)
Carbon
trading is a complex system with a simple goal: to make it cheaper for
companies to continue polluting. The carbon market has fielded perhaps
the largest avenue for businesses to earn money while polluting. This
workshop will examine some of the largest carbon trading criminal acts
to date taking an in-depth look at the corruption inherent in the
system, ways in which the Clean Development Mechanism has perpetuated
the criminalisation of resistance on the ground, the breakdown of the
market and how climate finance has functioned to rig the system
throughout Kyoto’s history.

Workshop 2:
Carbon Market Crimes, Post-Kyoto, Post-2012
Carbon trading is a complex system with a simple goal: to make it
cheaper for companies to continue polluting. New false solutions such
as REDD, techno-fixes like CCS and market linking schemes arrive into
the debate daily. What are they and what would their potential impacts
be? While questions around what to expect post-Kyoto, after 2012,
continue to be discussed, it is often unclear what direction these new
market mechanisms will take. This workshop aims to decode the new
languages developing inside the climate talks and highlight real issues
from a justice-based approach of the impacts on people and the
environment.
