Description
Charcoal is the primary energy source for urban Africa, but its production is widely informal and unregulated. Consequently, charcoal is entwined with violence against nature through rampant deforestation and violence against vulnerable rural communities, fuelling violent political economies of conflict and extraction. Communities living in production areas face destruction of their cultural heritage, embodied in nature, and the conditions for economic and political dignity. The project is implemented in South Sudan and Uganda.
