Responding to the launch of the Environmental Audit Committee’s report on how to stop emissions from deforestation, Mike Childs, Head of Campaigns at Friends of the Earth (FOE), said “Money is important – but money alone won’t save the rainforests, which are crucial to the health of our planet.
“The Environmental Audit Committee is right to rule out the use of carbon markets and carbon offsetting to stop deforestation. Proposals to allow rich countries to buy chunks of forest whilst continuing to pump out emissions should be off the table -they will trigger a land grab leaving millions of people worse off.
“Ministers must urgently tackle illegal logging, remove perverse targets for biofuels, and fix the food chain to end intensive farming that drives forest destruction.”
FOE is demanding that the Government changes its approach to climate change with its Demand Climate Change campaign. The green campaign group is asking everyone to sign its international petition to world leaders at the demand climate change website.
