The deep sea #mining industry stalks, while governments talk

by Maud Oyonarte & Sebastian Losada, 31 March 2023

"The world is waking up to the significance of the threat from deep sea mining, but governments have squandered a major opportunity to take action at the 28th Session of the International Seabed Authority (ISA). Even after two weeks of negotiation, they failed to reach an agreement to put a clear stop to deep sea mining.

"With no agreed plan to stop the deep sea mining industry from starting this year, the door is left open for the industry to mine the seabed. And that’s unacceptable!

"The past two weeks have seen Indigenous advocates reject deep sea mining, scientific warnings of the risks grow ever stronger, and the longest-standing and biggest corporate backer of the industry call it quits. Despite such clear messages, the negotiations at the Council of the ISA failed to yield concrete results, notably on the most pressing topic at hand: how to ensure that deep sea mining can not be authorized some time soon after July 2023."

‘We can’t be Māori without the ocean’ — Quack Pirihi, Pacific activist against deep sea mining

Quack Pirihi, 21 March 2023

"Papatūānuku (Earth mother) shows us that they know how to cleanse themselves of mamae (hurt or pain). They know cyclones will wash away homes and they know the extent of flooding. Papatūānuku knows the scale that deep sea mining will have on themselves. Papatuanuku will still remain, but our livelihood, our connection with the whenua (land), can and will change drastically if things continue to be ignored."

"fossil fuel companies have not simply been lying to the public, they have been killing members of the public at an accelerating rate, and prosecutors should bring that crime to the public’s attention”

Shameful. And the government has made it easier to polute. But it’s ok because the funds that invested in them have made a packet. ‘Surfing in a sewer’: British windsurfer quits for Spain over water pollution https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/jan/26/surfing-in-a-sewer-british-windsurfer-sarah-jackson-quits-for-spain-over-water-pollution?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other #conservativesarefailing #saveourseas #waterpolution

Given the severity of the climate crisis and the inflection point this decade represents, carbon offsets and fossil fuel consumption should both be actively phased out. Instead, companies should be judged on full-supply chain scope 3 emissions relative to their business vertical, and the stock market should have future ecological impact priced into a companies value and fiduciary responsibility.

"This is indeed a situation that calls for that great Catholic both/and approach. We need to both aid vulnerable communities with compensation for decades of loss and damage that climate change has already wrought, and stop the ongoing destruction at the source by divesting from and phasing out use of coal, oil and gas."
