This workshop will examine some of the largest carbon trading criminal
acts to date taking an in-depth look at the corruption inherent in the
system, ways in which the Clean Development Mechanism has perpetuated
the criminalisation of resistance on the ground, the breakdown of the
market and how climate finance has functioned to rig the system
throughout Kyoto’s history.
