Climate Solutions Often Harm Indigenous Peoples - UN
Climate Solutions Often Harm Indigenous Peoples - UN NORWAY: April 3, 2008 OSLO - Large-scale solutions to help slow global warming often threaten the very indigenous peoples who are among those hardest hit by a changing climate, the UN University said on Wednesday. Biofuel plantations, construction of hydropower dams and measures to protect forests, where trees soak up heat-trapping carbon dioxide gas as they grow, can create conflicts with the ancestral lands of indigenous peoples.
