"First, we need to acknowledge that our collective failures as humanity to live within planetary boundaries"

No. This is the failure of the capitalist system, & global/industrial civ. Not collective, but Anglo-led.

["our collective failure"] to respect the wisdom of our ancient ancestors, [] & health experts...

Indigenous peoples rep. less than 5% of population, - yet manage 25% land & support approx. 80% all biodiversity. Instead of listening/learning - you turn a blind eye to genocide.

Club of Rome & partners turn a blind eye to ongoing torture, murder, rape, displacement of Indigenous Peoples (#WWF). Now, working w/ the corporations/entities that have plundered the natural world, you push for further displacement of #Indigenous via #NewDealForNature.

"our collective failure"... "to respect the wisdom of our ancient ancestors, scientists & health experts about taboos that protected humanity against the risks of pathogens that cross-species, has brought us unprecedented disruptive diseases."

Wisdom - from your science experts?

Here we get down to the crux of the matter: the economic & financial systems (theirs) ... the measurement of "progress & prosperity" as #GDP:

"Natural capital" is est. at 125 trillion annually vs. GDP at 85.9 trillion (2018).

"Natural Capital" accounting will replace #GDP.

The "new civilization" is the "fourth industrial revolution" led by the World Economic Forum et al. Desired by the ruling classes.

2020-2030, the age of disruption, will accelerate "smart cities", the financialization of nature, less social/more digital, & "global governance".

"We now have a dedicated network of partners working together on the Planetary Emergency Plan we launched last Sept. in NY to ensure political buy in & proper outreach."

The Club of Rome boasts "unprecedented entry-points at the highest levels of decision-making."

#EUGreenDeal

The "unprecedented entry-points" were "particularly exemplified" by an invitation extended by VP Timmerman - to explore how the Planetary Emergency Plan could be a guide for crafting the new European Commission's flagship policy proposal, the European Green Deal. #EUGreenDeal

In late 2019 "the Club also held a series of advisory meetings w/ the cabinet of the Pres. of the EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. Leveraging its network of thought leaders and practitioners."
