Citations in the corpus

• Payments for ecosystem services: From local to global (2010, background): “…the best defined services currently is carbon sequestration, but payments for this single service can have perverse outcomes—monoclonal Eucalyptus plantations may maximize carbon sequestration, but degrade potentially more valuable biodiversity, water provision and nutrient cycling (Lohman, 2006).”
• Carbon Trading, Climate Justice and the Production of Ignorance: Ten examples (2008, background): “…significant for the politics of knowledge, however, is the way high-level international and national policy responses to climate change have been dominated for the last decade bycarbon trading ^ the construction of markets that use the earth’s carbon-cycling capacity as a commodity (Lohmann, 2006).”
• Upsetting the Offset: The Political Economy of Carbon Markets (2008, background): “While these assessments are generally based on the premise that carbon markets are an innovative instrument with some teething troubles that can be overcome relatively easily, there is a current of market critique based on a principled, anti-capitalist stance (Lohmann, 2006).”
• Social Metabolism, Ecological Distribution Conflicts, and Valuation Languages (2010, background): “As a collection, these studies show that the focus must be in a commodity chain perspective on “cradle to grave”, and sometimes also on “grave to cradle” as in conflicts on tree plantations for carbon dioxide capture (Lohman, 2006) or in the euphemism of waste incineration as “energy recovery”.”
• Governing the Clean Development Mechanism: Global Rhetoric versus Local Realities in Carbon Sequestration Projects (2009, methodology): “In this section of the paper I draw from the development literature on CDM (eg Brown et al, 2004; Liverman and Boyd, 2008; Lohmann, 2006; 2008; Olsen, 2007).”
• Accumulation by Decarbonization and the Governance of Carbon Offsets (2008, background): “…in the South are critical of offsets and emissions trading because of unequally distributed benefits from offset projects, neocolonial approaches to property rights, and the sense that the North will continue to consume and use the South as a pollution dump (SinksWatch 2004a; Lohmann 2006).”
• Carbon Trading: A Review of the Kyoto Mechanisms (2007, background): “the most financial interest in doing so” (20).”
• Toward a different debate in environmental accounting: The cases of carbon and cost–benefit (2009, background): “One Indian social activist remarked on being confronted with an official UN form for submitting comments on a CDM project that 'the form for public input is so full of technicalities there seems to be no space for general comments' (Lohmann, 2006, p. 194).”
• Making things the same: Gases, emission rights and the politics of carbon markets (2009, background): “…and on necessary infrastructure (for example, the electricity grid changes needed to make increased renewables production more attractive economically), the removal of the many subsidies for fossil-fuel extraction and use, and so on (see, for example, Lohmann 2006 and Prins and Rayner 2007).”
