There are 175 corps/institutions now overseeing your children's #education going forward. They will be shaping/molding your child's #ideologies & #worldviews - all while harvesting their data.
Global Education Coalition Members (announced Mar 18 2020):
"A new project on connectivity for education & learning [] is underway to develop an Int. #Declaration on Connectivity for #Education that is expected to be endorsed by countries at the end of 2021. Work on the declaration will be steered by a small int. advisory group.." [p 59]
The group includes Ericsson, GIGA, GSMA, #Huawei, ITU, #Mastercard Foundation Regional Center for Innovative Teaching & Learning in Africa, #Microsoft, NetHope, Smart Africa, UN Envoy on #Technology, UNHCR, UNICEF, #WorldBank, & the World Economic Forum.

Code.org-creator of Code Break. "Each #CodeBreak episode included inspiring guests... guests included leaders or #founders of other #GEC members such as Khan Academy, #Microsoft, #Google, #Facebook, & YouTube."
"Students completed 35 million hours of #coding in 2020." [p 49]
"Cohort Young People" (NHS #Behaviour Change Unit) is today a primary aspiration of corporate power - (consolidating in real time) along w/ the institutions, NGOs, Gov'ts serving power/capital.
To this effect, #Facebook is "Building An Instagram For #Kids Under The Age Of 13".
"The Coalition is committed to [] #lifelonglearning for all, in line w/ the fourth Sustainable Development Goal..." [p 9]
"Prior to April break, more than 99% of students & staff did not have a current case of #COVID19. Since Sept, 99.2% of students & 98.6% of staff never reported a COVID-19 case."
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.⬇️
