Tell Kevin Rudd: don't dump on Indonesia. Australian carbon colonialism - stop the offsets! Kevin Rudd's Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme allows for 100% of Australian emissions reductions to be found offshore. Federal Treasury predicts at least 50% reliance on offshore credits to achieve the lowest reduction in emissions (5%). Kevin Rudd is now looking for cheap offshore offsets for Australian emissions. Indonesia is the first target, with the AusAid funded Kalimantan Forests and Climate project designed to establish reduced deforestation as an acceptable offset. Local groups in Indonesia, including WALHI, Indonesia’s largest environment organisation and the Indonesian Union of Small Farmers are opposed to Australia’s offset schemes and are protesting tomorrow at the Australian Embassy in Jakarta.
