Climate breakdown erodes people’s lives. It doesn’t arrive with a bang or a whimper but a steady, crushing squeeze.

In climate talks and global goals of emissions reduction, we often hear politicians congratulating themselves and their country for being climate leaders as their emissions fall. But behind this hot air lies a lesser-known phenomenon revealing the reality of many so-called emission cuts: carbon outsourcing.
