This paper examines the effect of international carbon finance mechanisms on local development. More specifically, it looks at the political economy of projects, carbon as a commodity and the use of "premium" carbon labels, and broader carbon governance processes. The author argues that a more inclusive social development component in carbon finance requires three "I"s: information on benefit and power asymmetries; local participation at systemic levels; and innovation in communicating participation in the carbon commodity chain.
