Biofuels must not be promoted as a solution to climate change, Friends of the Earth International said today, just a few days before key United Nations climate change talks start in Bali, Indonesia. The environmental group...warned that an increase in the use of biofuels...would have disastrous social and environmental impacts...Forests are being cut down and Indigenous Peoples and forest dwelling communities are being displaced, often violently, from their territories to make way for agrofuels plantations run by multinational corporations that expropriate land and water resources…Paradoxically, while agrofuels are being promoted as a solution to climate change…their cultivation is releasing huge amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
