Turning Rwanda’s abundant trees into gold through carbon credit trading w/ Paul Foster, Executive Director, Co2 Capital

Rwanda, like many other developing nations, has borne the brunt of climate change. We’ve seen searing hot temperatures over the last long dry season and now, when it rains, its not the gentle drizzle of the past. Rather we suffer rain storms that destroy farmers fields, and cause killer landslides. What is most unfair about this climate change is the fact that we aren’t the cause of it, but rather the victims. It is the industrialized countries that have put all of us at risk, with their love of fossil fuels. They are the ones who have cut down all their trees and replaced them with cities.  In fact, it is us, the developing nations, with our forests and swamps, that have kept the temperatures from rising even further. Because we have, it is only right and fair that we get something back for our efforts to push back the tides. And that is where carbon trading comes in. And that’s what Paul Foster specializes in. Paul Foster is Executive Director and Founder of Co2 Capital, a company that provides technology-based carbon offset solutionsJoin our Patreon to enjoy ad-free viewing https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheLongFormPod or support us via our MTN Mobile Money Code 95462 or directly to our phone number: +250795462739Visit Sanny Ntayombya's Official Website: https://sannyntayombya.comProduced by LF Media
