politics of conservation: using international carbon trading to protect forests and biodiversity

 

 

Carbon trading to decrease tropical deforestation is emerging as a key tool for combating climate change and perhaps lowering biodiversity concerns.

Funds allocated to this goal may soon outnumber all other investments in tropical conservation, as evidenced by Australia’s recent $200 million (AU) commitment to combat deforestation in the Asia-Pacific area.

Here, I will briefly discuss carbon trading and its reasoning. I discuss some of the political and practical challenges that carbon trading has encountered, and continues to confront, as an emerging method for reducing human-caused carbon emissions and preserving biodiversity.

Conservation in this context helps to limit carbon emissions that are harmful to human health and climate change.
