Carbon Market Myths- en Español/Spanish, Second Edition

As is customary, each year ends with the COP circus where almost nobody really expects to reach agreements to find solutions for adaptation and mitigation of the consequences of the climate crisis. In Cancun it was REDD, in Durban it was the Green Climate Fund; but neither of them were created with the goal in mind of real solutions to this crisis, but rather what corporations and international financial institutions need to continue doing business within the new "climate crisis economy". 
This publication is jointly put together by Other Worlds Chiapas / Friends of the Earth Mexico and Green Revolt / Rising Tide Mexico with the aim of exposing the myths that exist within the carbon market as the ideal solution to a crisis that is deeply rooted into a predatory and extractive system. Together with more than ten organizations, networks, movements, and groups, all from the Global South, we present not only the myths of this market, but also solutions "from below", from the grassroots level, from the communities themselves affected mostly by this crisis- solutions that are already a reality and that have nothing to do with the false solution the system since is trying to impose on us through these official COP meetings.
From climate science to climate finance, carbon markets to the incineration industry, agriculture, REDD, and biofuels- this publication presents various ways how the markets take advantage of the movement surrounding climate change and coopting any real initiatives to genuinely address the climate crisis. Jubilee South-Americas, Ecological Voices Collective, Global Alliance for Incineration Alternatives-GAIA, Common Borders, the Nicaraguan social movement Another World is Possible, and the Center for the Protection of Nature are just some of the participants in this publication presented in its second electronic edition, after reaching its first 20,000 downloads. Participants ranging from Argentina to Mexico, showing the diversity of movements that exist in the resistance to a systemic-crisis that is reflected in the climate crisis.
