Climate change, caused by growing concentrations of human made greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, has caused an alarming range of impacts on biodiversity and the integrity of the world’s environment. It is increasingly acknowledged that deforestation, particularly in tropical regions, is currently responsible for between 18 and 20 per cent of global CO2 emissions.


This photo essay aims to highlight the serious flaws associated with RED/D and to give a voice to communities faced with confronting colonialist top-down policies. This photo essay was prepared by participants of the Durban Group for Climate Justice for the 7th Session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in April 2008.
