Local people, not global consultants, should have a say in how their forests are protected
It
seems the bad influence of McKinsey has diminished somewhat recently. The
consultancy firm has been kicked out of Papua New Guinea (PNG), where it had
been advising the government on how best to protect its rainforests and reduce
emissions from deforestation. It seems the new (if
controversial) administration has decided to cease doing business with
McKinsey.

The big question
that currently hangs over climate talks in Durban is whether or not the politicians will
agree to sign a legally binding treaty by 2015 with
mandatory emissions cuts. But the devil will be in the details, and management
consultants pushing bad advice could have a big impact on our climate and
rainforests.
