Carbon Sink Plantations in The Ecuadorian Andes : impacts of the Dutch FACE-PROFAFOR monoculture tree plantations' project on indigenous and peasant communities

---

While evidence is accumulating on the seriousness and the impacts of Climate Change due to Global Warming, the "efforts" aimed at seeking to mitigate them foreseen in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change seem increasingly distant from resolving the fundamental causes of the problem. This is the case of the so-called "Clean Development projects and other similar mitiatives contemplated within the process of climate negotiations and in the Kyoto Protocol.

The Kyoto Protocol, seen as a hopeful measure by part of various sectors of the population, emerged in the context of the United Nations climate negotiations as a legally binding instrument seeking to establish commitments to reduce emissions by the industrialized countries.

Unfortunately, this instrument suffers from serious problems. In the first place the targets set for the reduction of emissions are totally inadequate the 1990 levels of emissions are arbitrarily taken as a reference and a 5.2 per cent reduction of emissions is proposed with respect to those levels, in spite of the fact that an infinite number of studies maintain that for this reduction to have a real impact on the climate problem, the figure should be set at no less than 70 per cent of the levels released 15 years ago.
