"Sky Money" is a term first used in Papua New Guinea to describe the offers from so-called “carbon cowboys”, who came offering exploitative deals to use local forests as carbon offsets.

However, the problems with Sky Money run much deeper than the issue of “carbon cowboys.” For us, the term “Sky Money” shows what carbon trading is really about: not solving dangerous climate change, but making profits from new commodities pulled out of the air.

Sky Money is a project of climate justice campaigners in Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne and beyond.
