Great brief by @ActionAid
Global north countries +-70% of their economic growth by appropriating the atmospheric commons.
They owe climate vulnerable countries $107 tn in climate debt, and that's just the very tip of the reparations iceberg π
π° $36 tn in climate debt is owed to Africa π far exceeding the external debts that African nations are forced to pay. This doesn't incl the trillions owed in reparations for colonial plunder, slavery, ongoing imperialist extraction, tax evasion & ilicit financial flows etc
Corporate monopoly of seeds & dominating research & breeding, poses a massive threat not only to #biodiversity but food sovereignty- Seeds bred for profit not for food security. Corporates also working to criminalise farmer seed systems & farmers' rights to share & breed #seed
Seed laws only speak to the commercial sector who are Privatising the commons of genetic resources. corporates then influence states to subsidise their privatised seed. #ResilientLivlihoods&ClimateJustice2019
