Already a huge force in Europe, carbon trading is beginning to be established in the US as the primary way that governments and corporations address the climate crisis. Critics and researchers are discovering that carbon trading and clean development projects involve externalizing Northern pollution to Southern communities, and most of the carbon offset credits sold to industrialized countries come from projects that do nothing to reduce fossil fuel use. Join Kevin Smith & Tamra Gilbertson—leading critics of international climate change policy and researchers with www.carbontradewatch.org—for a conversation about offset projects, international policy, and power. The presentation will also feature a unique photo exhibition, 'The Offsets Market in India, Confronting Carbon Colonialism.'
