We hear a lot about “growing a green economy” — but is this really the solution we need? Big companies and investors are stepping in, buying up land for carbon storage, conservation, and green energy. These projects generate carbon and biodiversity credits, but at what cost? This animation explores how “green grabs” are displacing farmers, disrupting ecosystems, and failing to deliver the promised climate benefits. We look at the risks to food security and community livelihoods from "green" land grabbing. And make the case for agroecology, community-led conservation, and real cuts to emissions in the most polluting industries as the way to save nature. Nature doesn’t need to be sold to be saved! Watch to learn more about the hidden costs of the green economy — and the real solutions we need.
