Natacha Bruna and Boaventura Monjane, CASAS’ members, has written this chapter, which has been included in the book “Climate Justice and Participatory Research: building climate-resilient commons” edited by Patricia E. Perkins.

This chapter seeks to highlight a new element in the rush for natural resources in countries like Mozambique: carbon. This new commodity, which is sold on international markets in the form of carbon credits, is the result of the implementation of “green” projects aimed at conservation and the reduction of GHG emissions. In researching these issues, the authors used an action-research methodology in
collaboration with the communities affected by these projects—not about them but with them.
