Abstract

The implementation of market-based top-down climate mitigation policies is resulting in the expropriation of emission rights of non-polluters while fuelling accumulation by powerful actors. Redirecting political energy from African feminism to alternative non-extractivist climate solutions requires the recognition of the role of women's unpaid reproductive labour in enabling the production and extraction of an emerging commodity in the scramble for African resources: carbon credits1. Uncovering the injustices behind false solutions and top-down green policies also requires collaborative and intersectional work among different social movements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
