Ecological Debt: The Case of Tanzania

“This study clearly demonstrates Tanzania’s ecological debt by analysing the concept in the Tanzanian context. The study demonstrates how Tanzania, as a country has taken up activities that are ecologically destructive in-order to meet her debt obligations. Also discussed in this report are climate change, aid, power relations, foreign investments and their relationship with ecological debt. In totality, the report brings forward activities and actors creating the Tanzanian ecological debt. The report makes recommendations and points out possibilities for compensation and how new ecological debt can be avoided.”
