"The breakup of the partnership behind one of the world’s biggest #carbon projects in Zimbabwe raises new doubts about the #CarbonMarket’s ability to backstop failures.

Most of the #Kariba project’s proceeds have gone to the two partners rather than people in the rural communities who fight #deforestation, as the companies have claimed."
