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
/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."

#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."
/4: Eva Gladek, founder of Metabolic: "a large part of this discussion is around, you know, #nature is the new gold. [] we know that we rely on it for our lives, but it's not easily movable, it's not easily tradable..."

Metabolic clients include WWF, Pepsi, Governments, etc.
/5: Rob Allen, HBAR:

"our mission is actually to bring the balance sheet of the planet to the public ledger. What that really means is that we are looking to tokenize natural assets. We're putting them on [], the Hedera Ledger..."

#MVGX to push "#Carbon As A Service" #CaaS
/6: PK: "...it [digital] allows us to quantify & monetize natural capital. It allows us to quantify & monetize human capital. It allows us to quantify & monetize cultural habitat, & at the same time allows meaningful integration of these forms of capital w/ financial capital."
/7: Phoebe Koundouri, Chair, #UN SDSN, Global Climate Hub cont'd:

>"So at last, & probably the first time in the history of humankind, we are able to measure & monetize all capitals."<

Quoting from Nov 2022 UN discussion highlighted by @TimHinchliffe👇

/8: Yannis Ioannidis, SDSN co-founder: "... you all talk about monetizing nature which makes perfect sense, but if I may dare to go out of my waters here, & say there are also principles that are monetizable... I think it's something that for me, as a technologist, excites me."
/9: PK: "...about monetizing nature, [] this is the most human-centric part of economics-the value derives from human preferences."

More to the point, the value derives from a human-centric, Euro-centric patriarchal ideology built on white supremacy, colonialism & imperialism.
/10:

Q: "What exactly does he mean by "tokenising" & "transfer that value around the world"?

EDSX: "Tokenized natural resources have the potential to become one of the largest crypto asset classes due to the sheer scale of the world's natural assets."

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.⬇️
