Beskrivning

This book analyses the topical and contentious issue of the human rights impacts associated with carbon projects, especially in developing countries. It outlines a human rights-based approach to carbon finance as a functional framework for mainstreaming human rights into the design, approval, finance and implementation of carbon projects. It also describes the nature and scope of carbon projects, the available legal options for their financing and the key human rights issues at stake in their planning and execution. Written in a user-friendly style, the proposal for a rights-based due diligence framework through which human rights issues can be anticipated and addressed makes this book relevant to all stakeholders in carbon, energy, and environmental investments and projects.

Recensioner i media

'Damilola S. Olawuyi has tackled the intersection of three issues of great complexity and even greater importance: the design of projects that are needed to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, and thus avoid the worst effects of climate change; the methods being used to pay for these projects; and the effect that the projects will have on the communities (often indigenous populations) that live in or near the places where these projects are carried out. This book displays a mastery of the actual problems these projects face in the real world … It also presents concrete proposals for reconciling at least some of the conflicts. Human rights and climate finance have too often been very separate spheres of study; Olawuyi has now brought them together in a way that performs a great service in helping us understand and constructively deal with the tensions between them.'
