The Norwegian government has made an agreement with Juan Manuel Santos, the former Colombian president, to give Colombia USD $48 million yearly in order to reduce deforestation. This forms part of a greater support effort by Norway to countries in the South to halt climate change, through the Norwegian International Climate and Forest Initiative (NICFI) instituted after the Paris Agreement in 2015. The way in which efforts to reduce deforestation have been implemented has, however, been met with criticism. For instance, Colombia ratified the Paris Agreement to reach zero net deforestation by -2020. Nonetheless, in 2016, deforestation in the Amazon rainforest increased by 44%. While Norway, through this investment in the forest, gives the appearance of being a climate concerned country, it also continues oil extraction. Norway thus exhibits double standards as it aims to maintain its position as an important producer of offshore oil and gas extraction, while pushing the problem of climate change onto the countries in the South. In this way, Norway is able to comply with the Paris Agreement requirements for reduction of CO2 emissions. This article examines the successes and failures of the Norwegian rainforest protection efforts in the case of Colombia, assessing the governance of the deforestation policies from the perspective of green Southern criminology and incorporating a critique of the neo-colonialist means of environmental protection established by the North.

保护雨林和减少全球变暖的挪威-哥伦比亚协议:成功还是失败?

挪威政府与哥伦比亚前总统胡安·曼努埃尔·桑托斯达成协议,每年向哥伦比亚提供 4800 万美元,以减少森林砍伐。这是挪威通过 2015 年《巴黎协定》后设立的挪威国际气候与森林倡议 (NICFI) 为遏制气候变化而向南方国家提供更大支持的一部分。 减少森林砍伐的努力的实施方式然而,却遭到了批评。例如,哥伦比亚批准了《巴黎协定》,到 2020 年实现零净森林砍伐。尽管如此,2016 年亚马逊雨林的森林砍伐增加了 44%。虽然挪威通过对森林的这种投资,看起来是一个关注气候的国家,但它也继续进行石油开采。因此,挪威表现出双重标准,它旨在保持其作为海上石油和天然气开采的重要生产国的地位,同时将气候变化问题推向南方国家。通过这种方式,挪威能够遵守《巴黎协定》减少二氧化碳排放的要求。本文以哥伦比亚为例考察了挪威雨林保护工作的成功与失败,从绿色南方犯罪学的角度评估森林砍伐政策的治理,并结合对北方建立的新殖民主义环境保护手段的批评。 . 挪威能够遵守《巴黎协定》减少二氧化碳排放的要求。本文以哥伦比亚为例考察了挪威雨林保护工作的成功与失败,从绿色南方犯罪学的角度评估森林砍伐政策的治理,并结合对北方建立的新殖民主义环境保护手段的批评。 . 挪威能够遵守《巴黎协定》减少二氧化碳排放的要求。本文以哥伦比亚为例考察了挪威雨林保护工作的成功与失败,从绿色南方犯罪学的角度评估森林砍伐政策的治理,并结合对北方建立的新殖民主义环境保护手段的批评。 .
