La lógica colonialista irrumpe en la COP30: el norte paga al sur a cambio de poder contaminar más
Los mercados de carbono permiten comprar a terceros países derechos de emisión de gases para alcanzar los compromisos de reducción, desplazando así la deuda de carbono.

New post!
Matt Wynyard situates increasing tensions about the social and ecological costs of dairying in Aotearoa NZ. The sector, whose evolution is firmly entangled with the history of settler colonialism, has seen rapid transformations since the 1980s.
