not to spoil a green party, but does Blackrock still own shares of agribusinesses Bunge Limited and ADM, allegedly linked to Amazon deforestation?
US agribusiness greenwashing strategies in Brazil quite something:
1. Sign Amazon Soy Moratorium in 2006, committing not to purchase from farmers destroying Amazon.
2. Move operations to Cerrado, neighbouring ecosystem, slash & burn there, reject calls for Cerrado Soy Moratorium Image
3. When investors threaten to divest, hide behind Amazon Soy Moratorium and remind them Bolsonaro and Brazilian farmers serious about destroying it. #winwin Image

missing from this @FT account of the rapid rise of infrastructure as an asset class is the sustained effort that G20 governments have put into derisking infrastructure assets for institutional capital - this is the derisking state in action #WallStreetConsensus Image
@FT with @BJMbraun we've termed this a weak derisking macrofinancial regime - a set of policies (as in the G20 Infrastructure as an Asset Class agenda, or World Bank Maximising Finance for Development) that seeks to mobilise private capital into infrastructure

BlackRock 's recent acquisition of GIP is a bet that governments - under ideological or real constraints on fiscal space - will not pursue public infrastrucuture projects but instead continue to derisk private capital

I did not expect this, but Rachel Reeves' Mais lecture is a lot more interesting - and dare I say, promising - than either the commentariat focused on fiscal rules or the past weeks of 'maxxed credit cards' would have us believe

some parts are taking a direct swipe at us advocates of Big (Green) State, but it's a careful articulation of the alternative rather than the empty austerity ideology of 'maxxed out credit cards' Image
1. We're getting climate politics back at the Bank of England.

Remember, under Carney, it became a world leader in climate policy making, not the greenwashed US Fed version of 'disclosure'/single materiality that Bailey prefers. Image

Carbon wealth taxes are for the left what carbon prices are for the right - distractions consuming political energy
it is a strategic and tactical mistake for progressives to centre the superrich in climate politics.
Tactics - global tax system is organised to enable rampant tax avoidance + evasion for both high net worth individuals & corporations.
Recent efforts to reform have been far less successful than we'd have expected a decade after Piketty made inequality politically salient at global level. Fighting for global solutions around taxes is important, but shouldnt be the key front.

Global South voices - here the President of Colombia - read in the European/US support of the genocide in Gaza a blueprint, an experiment for ecofascism that 'treats us as disposable lives'.
not mincing words

'we are heading to barbary. Humanity, especially in the South, depends on the road we choose to address the climate crisis produced by the Global North. Gaza is the first experiment to treat us as disposable lives.'
Clearer European minds anticipated this response to von der Leyen - but the damage is done

the @ecb hiked rates to highest level ever today, but this matter less.
@Lagarde promised European Parliament to return ECB to Paris climate commitments but still nothing!
in a new report we show it can do Green Unwinding @AuroreLalucq @henrikehahn
greenpeace.de/publikationen/…
we are in the middle of a climate emergency, and the @ecb has stepped back from cleaning its portfolio of dirty bonds -

for no other reason except the (imagined) danger that @lagarde may be seen as 'Mme Climate' instead of fighting inflation.

but fighting inflation & pursuing its 'within mandate' climate rules are not at odds with each other - the opposite.
Mme @lagarde should remind her PR team that subsidising fossil capital, as ECB continues to do via its portfolio of corporate bonds, amplifies supply pressures
