The struggle to halt climate change is political, not just technicalNotes from the Meeting on Nature Markets in Guarema, BrazilBy Valentina Figuera Martínez and Andrea Echeverri, Global Forest Coalition8/8/2025Letícia Tura, the executive director of the Brazilian non-profit organization FASE, speaks with lucidity and nuance about false solutions to climate change. “The climate change debate isn’t just technical; it’s also political: it has to do with the class struggle, gender injustices, and disputes over the development model. “These days, we see that the debate isn’t just about carbon markets in a strict sense,” Tura said. In northern Paraguay, the indigenous communities are asking for our help to understand the murky proposals on carbon markets. It’s not a moral issue in the sense of judging communities that do accept carbon markets, but rather, it’s a political issue.
