The deluge of carbon market frameworks and everything climate finance this COP season keeps the wicked problem in our media consumption in the midst of elections in India, Indonesia and the United States this year. There is a recognition that climate events impact capitalism, and without the planet itself there is no capitalism. Hence capitalism is building a carbon globalisation to knit together measures to funnel capital where it is needed the most, the CV20 for example.
The world is being reordered through the triple transition, and it cannot take place by erasing and muting communities on the front line. All the carbon credits make no sense if the forest in which the credit is generated, does not account for the development needs of the frontier community.
There is no climate finance sans the dignity of communities, afforded by the UNGPBHR.
