What risks do carbon market projects under Article 6.2 and 6.4 pose to human rights? How do affected Indigenous Peoples, and Local Communities experience these initiatives in practice? And which safeguards are needed to protect communities and their rights on participation and access to land?

During the event, we will discuss these questions with civil society and community representatives from Asia and Latin America, as well as researchers who share insights into how communities experience carbon market initiatives from a human rights perspective.
