To obtain the required social license, the ruling class devised a strategy. A corporate campaign that would harness the momentum of the youth - to achieve the ruling class objectives & desired goals. #NewDealForNature
An apt reminder for the aforementioned tweet - that TIME is wholly owned by Salesforce founder/CEO Marc Benioff - #WEF Board of Trustees & Chair, WEF Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Raised on a steady diet of #celebrity#fetish, #groomed & nurtured on both Western narcissism & shallow superficiality, you can hardly blame #youth when offered coveted fame, access, photo ops, Vogue features, etc. - a powerful seduction for most adults.
Nakate began to promote the #NewDealForNature in May 2020. This is the campaign to monetize nature, global in scale, initiated by the World Economic Forum, World Wildlife Fund et al. It is the sister campaign of #VoiceForThePlanet promoted by #Thunberg, #Goodall & Attenborough.
Nakate is founder of "The Rise Up Movement" & "1 Million Activist Stories" w/ co-founder Davis Reuben, "lover of #carbon#finance". She has also founded "#YOUTH for Future #Africa"
"Ambitious" - a word/ framing with zero meaning. Used extensively within the #NPIC for global agreements that serve #corporate power & #capital.
2009: #GCCA/ "#TckTckTck - a global climate change action campaign for a fair, ambitious & binding deal in Copenhagen." #FauxActivism
#WWF encourage citizens to plant a tree & re-use a bottle. Strategic framing: the drivers of ecological devastation, biodiversity loss & climate (#capitalism & industrial civ.) are ignored - w/ actions of African #citizens now the primary source of ecological destruction. #Uganda
Tragic irony.
Groomed youth align themselves w/ WWF promoting the #NewDealForNature campaign citing #Indigenous dependence on forests.
Indigenous peoples are the "collateral damage in WWF's secret global war." @StephenCorrySvl#Africa
#NewDealForNature marketing is malleable in that the #brand is global & can be tailored as a solution to any ecological threat - specific to communities, provinces, countries. In #Uganda, the #NDFN is marketed largely as the means & salvation to end #plastics / #pollution.
In reality, the plastic industry is set to grow exponentially - something #WWF, key player in the global "recycling" (#waste) #industry, is well aware of.
Recently launched #Polypropylene Recycling Coalition is just one. Recycling is a massive failure. #Circular storytelling.
Highlighted in video is the EU/#WWF#solar project:
"The new products will have pay-as-you go functionality..."
Those who have read the Greta series will have an understanding of what this looks like.
And it doesn't stop there. The top results for a June 9 2020 Google search for "#buildbackbetter" includes the Joe Biden US presidential campaign followed by We Mean Business singing the same anthem. Here we can note that #Greenpeace assisted in the creation of We Mean Business.
Greta, Margolin, Nakate et al. New York Times. Film. Vogue. Photo shoots. International travel. Book deals. #Celebrity is the virus.
In their quest to further enslave Mother Earth, the #patriarchal white power structure has found a new weapon in the recruitment of young women.
June 2017: Margolin attends Al Gore's Climate Reality Leadership Corps (3 day training)
July 2017: Margolin organizes a youth climate march in Washington & launches Zero Hour
Sept 29, 2022: The Biden admin. [] is troubled by the possibility of Ben Gvir, who heads the far-right Otzma Yehudit, becoming a minister in the [] Israeli Gvt... "it is like the Ku Klux Klan in the Israeli gvt... We won't be able to defend this" #Optics
Dec 15, 2022: "Joint Statement of the Government of the #USA & the Govt of #Australia on Cooperation on Natural Capital Accounting, Environmental- Economic Accounting, & Related Statistics"
Decades in devt. Three yrs to obtain social license.
Sept 19, 2019: "In addition to the rapid decarbonization of the energy, industrial & transport sectors, the emergency response must include a major investment in #naturebasedsolution."
Nature4Climate: a coalition of 20 orgs including #WWF (bears responsibility for murder, rape & torture of Indigenous peoples) & We Mean Business, co-founded by The Climate Group. Key person Callum Grieve, marketing expert, behind Greta machine from day 1. nature4climate.org/about/
"... because the #Southern part of the world has value far greater than large elements of the Northern []. And we start thinking about & putting prices on water, on trees, on #biodiversity, we find, where does that sit?"
/2: "I'm doing a lot of work out of #Asia and I say that my next door neighbor Indonesia is the left lung of the world, and obviously #Brazil is the right. And #Africa - absolutely critical."
/3: "And #Africa - absolutely critical - and we need their natural capital as a system-based world more than we need that 66 billion we've got sitting in the basement of the Bank of England."
"...set in the near future [] epidemic [] spread[s] rapidly, [] w/ a higher fatality rate than #COVID19 & disproportionately affecting children & young people."
To my knowledge, there is only a video of "highlights" that has been released to the public. Regardless, the high-level /real discussions take place behind closed doors.
Apologies for not finishing thread last night-listened until I fell asleep. When those that oppress us, that allow our air, water, soil, food, bodies, to be poisoned & commodified, claim that global #health is now their top priority - be wary. Be ready.
Al Gore (#WEF trustee) et al. are SO CONCERNED about the climate, that they in the process of turning all of #nature into a new asset class – where they will OWN nature, manage/control nature, & profit from nature (via "Natural Asset Companies").
Of course, this has nothing to do w/ Gore's Generation Investment (#hedgefund co-founded w/ David Blood from Goldman Sachs), #BlackRock, saving capitalism, or the expansion of #privatization. Rather, it's to save the planet.
The $4,000 trillion #climate wealth opportunity.

David Blood to Mark Carney (TCFD/TNFD, #UN Special Envoy for #Climate), 2021:
"We know that #NaturalClimateSolutions are a critical part of the transition to #NetZero & we've known this for quite some time. Why is it so difficult for us in finance [] to put a value on nature?"
The realization that such an image is now collectively processed/understood as an impressive example of "#sustainability", amongst many who consider themselves ecologically aware, or even "left", is both terrifying & revealing at once.
"Per capita figures show that Indian people actually contribute relatively very little to the problem. While the average American emits 14.7 tons of CO2 a year, an Indian person emits around 1.8."
What's worse, such "solutions" are not displacing fossil fuels. A digitized economy drives expansion of hyperscale #datacenters. "Hyperscalers" such as #Amazon gloss over their massive energy consumption by securing renewable-power purchase agreements.⬇️
