Forest Communities Angered By Exclusion from Carbon Credits Negotiations

This year’s COP 29 meeting of the global nations to tackle climate change delivered mixed news for Liberia. Poor Countries were only successful in securing three hundred billion of the one point three trillion dollars they wanted from rich countries each year to support climate adaptation.But the conference did approve a motion that will pave the way for a UN – backed global carbon market.Few countries stand to benefit more than Liberia. Our 6-point-6 million hectares of forest make us well placed to benefit from carbon credit trading.The Government is creating a framework to guide this process. But as Joseph Daniels found in this collaboration with New Narratives, the plans are sparking concern among forest dependent Communities.
