What is the question? Everyone profits from saving planet
That's rich, so when the US does not profit the most from something it's all of sudden a bad thing.
Who Actually Profits From Saving the Planet? EVERYONE
Looks a great deal everyone will benefits from this. Imagine the great forests of Amazon, Congo and Indonesian forests getting saved because of this initiative
i would say this video did not cover enough of indonesia government dilemma. on 1 side, indonesia government want to make more money and grow its economy, one of the primary way of doing it is through increasing palm oil plantation. the other side there are global concern about carbon emission, which Indonesia can benefit of using carbon trading. ultimately indonesia government need to decide which one is more profitable and sustainable. not to mention the influence of private company and oligarch in indonesia government that are more benefit if indonesia open more palm oil plantation
Saving the planet ❌ saving for themselve for future profit ✅
Indonesia only gets 10%? WHAT? Indonesia must create a carbon credit project that uses the forest scheme to become a state-owned company, so that Indonesia gets 100% of the benefits and the money can be used to fund nutritious food programs for Indonesian children.
carbon offsets would work better if they were only a one time credit which needs to be maintained otherwise the credit is revoked. I really hope they don't treat them as carbon dividends where the estimated carbon sequestered every year is tallied. Carbon offsets need to be a finite resource and can't be part of a long term recurring source of greenwashing. The end goal should be that all land that can be protected is protected and the only way to offset your emissions is to protect more land or decarbonize your supply chain. If you're thinking "well what happens when all the land is bought, what can they do then?" then you are eerily close to finding out that the only way to actually improve GHG effect is to be carbon negative. We either get better science that proves that the protected land is sufficient to capture any remaining unavoidable emissions or we reduce emissions because there aren't enough natural ways of sequestering.
"Indonesia is Leary of foreigners dictating what to do with their national resources." that's exactly right. Indonesia is a sovereign nation that will not tolerate western intervention and interference. Let Indonesia profit from this WITHOUT the need for any western intermediary, middle man.
2:24 why use "cooling towers", that usually represent nuclear power plants, to represent "polluters"?
The trouble is, while we're figuring this out, we're cutting the branch we're sitting on. Once it breaks, it will be too late.
The Indonesia government is only thinking about money, they are choosing between growing oil palm plantation or carbon offset projects. Where is its environmental effort? They clearly should invest in recovering more forests and supporting local communities who do that. I hope they can understand this.
At this rate, I'll be offsetting my overtime with extra vacation days. Who knew corporate life would turn into a carbon-trading game.
How nice of u. A couple of football fields for the animals. Very thoughtful
So basically companies are paying to preserve natural resources that were already there, while pumping out more carbon? Unless you are expanding natural areas I don't see how this prevents climate change at all.
that foreigner is EXTREMELY greedy and doesn't care about the environment. Indonesia should not stand to gain just 10% of the profits. instead they should make such projects as government owned and receive 100% of the profits. How freaking hard is it to market to VW to receive carbon credits? not that hard! so why the need for foreign middle man?
Of course only in a capitalist structure do we have to ponder whether or not saving the planet is profitable enough to do.
Indonesian President Prabowo downplays deforestation and plans to increase palm oil plantations
This will turn very dark once PE firms really get into it
