Exhibition on Pollution Trading and Climate Change
Organised by Carbon Trade watch and Concrete Dok

In parallel with COP9 (UN Conference on Climate Change) taking place in Milan Italy, the exhibition puts climate change in the bigger context of the privatisation of the environment and the effects of International Financial Institutions on our lives.

The exhibition opens space for the people directly affected by the eucalyptus plantations whereby they talk about the effects on their lives and surrounding biodiversity. We expose the role of "carbon credits" and the emerging pollution trading economy in supporting the eucalyptus plantations in this exhibition.
