We call on movements and organizations committed to climate, environmental and social justice to sign this statement unequivocally rejecting “Nature-Based Solutions” and all offset schemes.
Such schemes are not designed to address the climate crisis. Their primary function is to buy another decade or two of unrestrained corporate profiteering from fossil carbon extraction and industrial agriculture while increasing outside control over community territories. Time has run out for such distractions. Only a rapid, time-bound plan to leaving the remaining coal, oil and gas reserves in the ground and industrial agriculture overhauled will avert catastrophic climate chaos.
Reject Nature-Based Solutions as a new form of corporate land grabbing and greenwashing!
Say NO to nature-based dispossessions!
