Abstract
Over the last decade, concern has grown and evidence has mounted that projects aimed at combating environmental problems (" environmental projects") increasingly produce serious human rights consequences, especially in developing countries. Often-cited examples include the human rights impacts of the Three Gorges Dam project in China,'the Changuinola (Chan 75) hydroelectric dam project in Panama,'and the West African Gas Pipeline project in Nigeria and Ghana.'Efforts to design projects that reduce the emission of greenhouse gases under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol-including projects aimed at reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and increasing the sustainable management of forests, conservation of forest carbon stocks, and enhancement of forest carbon stocks (REDD+)-have only intensified these concerns
