In conversation with Jutta Kill

A forest ecologist by training, Jutta Kill has been leading FERN's climate and forests campaign since 2000. Based on over two decades of experience with and analysis of intergovernmental initiatives to halt deforestation, FERN's work on forests and climate highlights why forest peoples' rights must be safeguarded by any climate agreement that hopes to reduce emissions from deforestation in a fair and effective way and why financing forest climate initiatives through carbon trading will be a bad deal for forests, forest peoples and the climate.
