First, what's the overall goal? #NaturePositive! (it's mentioned 19 times in the document)

What does this mean? Apparently - a "collective outcome" where the environment is "repaired, regenerated and protected", requiring action everyone, not just government.

Halt capitalist expansion under the guise of
protecting biodiversity
nodealfornature.wixsite.com/info
Our natural world is facing the most serious threats she has ever known.
At the forefront is the accelerating loss of biodiversity, upon which all life
2/"depends.
Worse still, this very real threat is now being marketed and exploited in order to reboot the global economy.
Behind the call for a New Deal for Nature—recently rebranded Nature Positive, also referred to as a Global Deal for Nature, a Global Goal for Nature, or a
3/"Paris Agreement for nature—lie the world’s most powerful capitalist interests, behavioural change organisations such as Avaaz, and big conservation NGOs such as the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) who partner

🌱For the next couple of weeks, countries are coming together at the @UNBiodiversity #COP15 to adopt the landmark “Global Biodiversity Framework”.

➡️But what are the 7⃣elements that must be included in that framework, for it to be really ambitious & transformative?

A thread⤵️ Image
1⃣ - A clear and ambitious “Mission” for 2030, to halt and reverse the loss of #biodiversity and secure a #NaturePositive world by the end of the decade.

👉It means that in 2030, we have more #Nature than there is now.

2⃣ - 2030 targets to conserve at least 30% of land, freshwater and oceans, and restore degraded ecosystems globally - placing Indigenous Peoples & local communities at the centre of conservation policies.

Al Gore ( WEF syndic) et al. sont TELLEMENT PRÉOCCUPÉS par le climat qu'ils sont en train de transformer l'ensemble de la nature en une nouvelle classe d'actifs - où ils POSSÉDERONT la nature, géreront/contrôleront et profiteront de la nature via les "sociétés d'actifs naturels".
#NaturePositive, #VoiceForThePlanet, #NewDealForNature

La financiarisation de la nature, commercialisée avec une imagerie et un langage holistiques émotionnels, dirigée par WEF, WWF et Al Gore.

C'est la capture des biens communs par les entreprises, à l'échelle mondiale.
#NaturePositive les fondateurs incluent #BusinessForNature (lancé le 2 juillet 2019 lors de la réunion annuelle des nouveaux champions du WEF en Chine et des conférences de Trondheim #Biodiversity en Norvège).

Xiye Bastida, the co-founder of the Re-Earth initiative, spoke with the Nature+ Newsroom at COP27 about the importance of not allowing corporations to dictate what activists can and cannot talk about.
Bastida said a supporting foundation of the Children and Youth Pavilion told attendees not to allow anyone to brand their organizations.
She mentioned that one of COP26’s issues was that it looked like an ad campaign, thanks to the corporate sponsors, and that COP27, which is sponsored by Coca-Cola, is exactly the same.

The idea that "environmental groups" are shocked over #CocaCola as sponsor of #COP27 is vacuous. If anything, this validates the vast corporate dominance accelerated over past 2.5 yrs, in tandem w/ #NGO "together" project of citizenry/state/corporation over past decade+.

To the corporate world & global finance, this is a signal, a nod, to the triumph of nature as a new asset class. Those with money will own nature.

#NetZero is not about climate or protecting nature, it is about financial markets.

The same entities seeking to grab lands from self-sufficient peoples in the Global South, '#ForNature', are also pushing non-animal sourced diets.

To understand the importance of animal source foods, check out this project: aleph-2020.blogspot.com
Speaker at XR Animal Rebellion event today: "Avoiding eating meat, dairy, eggs, and fish is the single best thing a person can do to eradicate their impact on the environment [...], and to biodiversity as a whole."

And destroy self-sufficiency?! Mad!
Why not just advocate genocide altogether, and be done with it?

Fewer humans, less impact on the environment...

Why not help create the kind of world sought by #NewDealForNature influencers and overpopulation advocates Attenborough and Goodall?

Just in case any of you still had any doubts about what lies behind WWF's apparent love of the natural world and their call for the world to embrace a #NaturePositive future, they spell it out for us here.

wwf.panda.org/?3183441/Centr…
Instead of Indigenous and tribal peoples, the best guardians of #biodiversity, WWF would like central bankers to be "nature's next stewards".

This is what we're up against – #BankersForNature.
From WWF's new report:

'To quote the International Monetary Fund, nature is "macro-critical" for financial stability. Nature underpins most of the economic activity in the world and, in particular, food production...'
