Net Zero smoke and mirrors, a story of betrayal: making the case against carbon market offsetting
COP 26 Side Event
On November 8 at 11:30 a.m. GMT / 5:30 a.m. CT, join IATP, Greenpeace International, Global Witness, Amnesty International and ActionAid International for a COP 26 side event at Strangford Lough. Livestream the event here.
Description
Net Zero climate targets and plans to expand carbon markets under Article 6 of the Paris Climate Agreement present dangerous loopholes for fossil fuel actors to delay climate action, threatening land, ecosystems and human rights including of environmental defenders. Instead, action is urgently needed to bring greenhouse gasses down to Real Zero.
