DoomsdaysCW"AMY GOODMAN: It’s one of the largest oil corporations in the world, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ADNOC" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ADNOC</a>, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AbuDhabiNationalOilCorporation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AbuDhabiNationalOilCorporation</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SultanAlJaber" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SultanAlJaber</a>, who is the head of this COP."NNIMMO BASSEY: Yes. And, you know, we’ve heard so many things going on. And with the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FossilFuel" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FossilFuel</a> industry being so prominent here, with bankers crawling the spaces of the COP, we’re seeing a lot of trade discussions. And, you know, this breaks my heart when I look at the way African negotiators or policymakers, the politicians, are bending back and accepting whatever is being thrown at them by the — through those who are investing in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CarbonOffsetting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CarbonOffsetting</a> or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CarbonTrading" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CarbonTrading</a> mechanisms. We’re seeing a sellout of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AfricanContinent" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AfricanContinent</a>."And we know the implications for this. One, it means once you sell out a territory for a period of time, you’ve lost <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#sovereignty</a>, so to speak, over that place, over that <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/forest" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#forest</a>, over that community, over that territory. And then it means negatively — negative impact on communities who live in the area that we are selling out. We’re talking about millions of hectares being mapped out to be sold for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CarbonCredit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CarbonCredit</a> generative facilities. And, you know, some of this means <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/reforestation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#reforestation</a> or forestation. It means clearing the land and planting new trees. Now, that itself emits, releases a lot of carbon from the soil. And then, of course, these <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NewTrees" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#NewTrees</a> are <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/monocultures" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#monocultures</a>, and they don’t — they are not as efficient <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CarbonSinks" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CarbonSinks</a> as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NaturalForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#NaturalForests</a>.
