Two climate justice activists from Friends of the Earth Indonesia are joined by Muliadi from Central Kalimantan to discuss Australia's plans for forest offsets in Indonesia. It is not well known that both major parties in Australia rely on using offsets across the whole economy to deal with climate change. The Australian government's "carbon sink" project in Central Kalimantan has affected the peatlands of the area and the livelihoods of local communities.
