“Bad
for the South, bad for the North, and bad for the climate”
October
4, 2006: The climate change debate will heat up further this
week with the publication of an exhaustively-documented new book
which claims that the dominant “carbon trading” approach,
adopted by the Kyoto Protocol and the EU Emissions Trading Scheme,
is both ineffective and unjust.

The book, published by Sweden’s Dag Hammarskjold Foundation together with
the international Durban Group for Climate Justice and the UK-based NGO The Corner
House, argues that carbon trading slows the social and technological change needed
to cope with global warming by unnecessarily prolonging the world’s dependence
on oil, coal and gas.
