Forests are facing immense challenges from the increased commodification
of their resources. Some incoming policies may worsen these challenges
dramatically. To highlight the lived experiences of communities affected by
forest commodification, the Global Forest Coalition has launched a repository
of videos gathered from a variety of organisations and contexts. The repository
has been launched as government representatives gather for the 18th Conference
of Parties of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change to
highlight the results of commodification and the dangers of policies that
ignore or intensify commodification processes. The repository organises the
videos into three key thematic areas: exporting commodities; carbon: schemes, scams & cowboys; and rights and resistance.
The repository can be accessed here.
