Published: Dec. 3, 2012, 10:59 p.m.

Around the world communities are already facing the impacts of climate change.\xa0 Now international organizations, like the World Bank, are pushing a policy that asks polluters to offset their pollution by paying governments to protect forests. But is it working?\xa0

On this edition, we take a closer look at this policy and ask, is it a plan to save the planet, or just sell it off? We'll hear extracts from the Global Justice Ecology Project and the Global Forest Coalition's \u201cA Darker Shade of Green: REDD Alert and the Future of Forests\u201d produced by Jeff Conant and narrated by Dania Cabello.\xa0
