Will you join me in making #Europe a better place? I have just signed a petition 'Let's save the #Oder River from another disaster'. The people of #Poland and #EU deserve better than to have their #rivers abused and degraded in the name of corporate profit. #climateCrisis #floods #drought #biodiversity #naturalCapital

Environmental problems are complex and require insights from across the sciences & social sciences to address them. While #pollution occurs across all types of economic systems, there is a tendency to blame pollution on #capitalism and associate it with economic #growth, but studies have shown an "inverse U"-shaped relationship.

Not just geology but all of geoscience could benefit from Iain Stewart's wisdom. Fields that fail to hitch their curiosity-driven engines to the modern grand challenge of climate/environment/sustainability, and instead cling to a sense of entitlement to business-as-usual traditional emphases, will continue to see increasing irrelevance, declining interest, and incurable homogeneity.

Is anyone at all surprised that when you give capitalists an opportunity to financialise "#NaturalCapital", what you get is exploitation and fraud?

This is exactly why #scotgov should be outlawing #CarbonCredits, not promoting them.

#Capitalism, and the survival of the human race, are not compatible.

This sounds awful! I don't think this type of thing was the intention of making business aware of #NaturalCapital 😳

"how much is a koala worth?"

At #COP15, a historic agreement was reached around #biodiversity. Some highlights from the Guardian's summary:
🌎Conserving 30% of the planet by 2030
📃Disclosures for biodiversity impact
⚖️Reforming gov't subsidies

But one critical callout is the inclusion of Indigenous people, representing "5% of humanity but protecting 80% of Earth’s biodiversity."

Keesa C. Schreane put it like this in her book, "Gambling on Green."

"There is much that can be learned from them about ESG, such as a lack of prioritization of financial gain and measuring success by metrics beyond the financial."

We could all use a little more of that in this effort.

#cocreate #opensource #knowledgetransfer #workshop #training #bioregional #society #community #socialcapital #naturalcapital #culturalcapital

#NaturalCapital, #NatureBasedSolutions, #Carbon Credits, #Biodiversity #Offsetting & #BiodiversityNetGain are all the creation of new markets that trade in #wildlife diversity & abundance. With this come a mindset of ownership & control, when we do not 🤦‍♂️

It's all just more cleaver #Greenwash to enable business-as-usual and the continued capture of the very life systems that keep us all alive.
