Michael Sheren, #UNDP Senior Advisor, G20 Chair:

"... 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?"

#COP15

#NewDeal4Nature = #NewDeal4Colonialism
/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."

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").

#COP27 #EmergingMarkets #30x30 Image
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?" Image

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.

#Conditioning

The erasure of nature. Image
Image from this article. Nov 8, 2022:

"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.⬇️
