The final agreement of the #COP21 Paris Accord is — of course, naturally — the continuing genocide of Indigenous peoples worldwide:
"The Paris Climate Accord is a commodity trade agreement, nothing more. It promises to privatize, commodify and sell forested lands as carbon offsets in fraudulent schemes such as REDD+ projects. These offset schemes provide a financial laundering mechanism for developed countries to launder their carbon pollution on the backs of the global south.
Case-in-point, the United States’ climate change plan includes 250 million megatons to be absorbed by oceans and forest offset markets.
Essentially, those responsible for the climate crisis not only get to buy their way out of compliance but they also get to profit from it as well.”
