Why Did Verra Reinstate the Northern Kenya Rangelands Soil Carbon Project Despite Human Rights and Legal Concerns?
Following Verra's decision to re-certify the Northern Kenya Rangelands soil Carbon Project despite an Isiolo court ruling raising questions over the legal basis of some participating conservancies. I revisited an interview I conducted with climate justice and carbon markets expert Adrien Tofighi-Niaki www.aniaki.work in March. In this conversation, he explains what the case means for carbon markets, rights of Indigenous peoples and the future of carbon offsetting in Africa.
