Megaslumming from Share The World’s Resources on Vimeo.

This film was made to coincide with the launch of ‘Megaslumming’, the new book by Share The World’s Resources that was launched in Kenya in January 2010. The film vividly portrays some of the realities of poverty for the residents of Kibera – Kenya’s most notorious shantytown, and focuses on Djemba the street boy who is the central character in the book.

The book ‘Megaslumming’ sets out to unravel how an informal settlement such as Kibera came to exist, what economic forces shape the reality of life for slum-dwellers in Africa, and what it really means to live in extreme poverty. Written as a lucid introduction to global justice issues, the book ultimately raises serious questions about the current direction of world development

Carbon offset trade is a financial tool used by businesses to compensate for the amount of carbon dioxide that they emit during their operations.

Most carbon offsets are bought from providers who ensure that the carbon emitted by their clients meets a similar carbon sink mostly through afforestation or mitigative measures like utilising renewable energy and changes in land use.

Entities looking to enter the trade are the  African Conservation Trust,  and the Green Belt Movement among others.

According to the World Bank’s Carbon Finance Unit, about $5.5 billion of carbon offsets were purchased in the compliance market in 2006, representing about 1.6 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide reduction.
