🎺Hot off the press🎺
New research @IOPenvironment on the deforestation hidden in the Côte d’Ivoire #cocoa supply chain, source of 40% of the world’s 🍫.

Four key take-aways. 🧵

1.Cocoa is a major driver of deforestation. Building on a new high-resolution, high-accuracy cocoa map, we identify 2.5 Mha of cocoa deforestation and degradation from 2000-2019, making cocoa responsible for 46% of the total deforestation and forest degradation in the country.

“Cocoa deforestation” being the loss of undisturbed tropical moist forest to cocoa & “cocoa degradation” where cocoa overlapped areas which underwent a change from undisturbed -> degraded forest. (Cocoa is a tree crop, blurring the traditional notions of 'deforestation'...)

Here's today's observation.
I just read
@ThegreatLambiny tweets on #binance and #multicoin

https://twitter.com/ThegreatLambiny/status/1612118625426767875?s=20&t=DicjbX8AiOn1Kd6RA2IHgA

#multicoin are the #muppets that compared #binance to the #piratebay and they also got stitched badly by #FTX not once. not twice but three times.

frozen out of 10% of their AUM and stitched in Fund II and III

Note: Date of Fund II. - 4 May 2021

#binance #playbook wasn't just used by #binance. It was literally cookie cut by #FTX
@MikeBurgersburg

It was until I saw @AureliusValue link to Miami Dade County, Florida's resolution for #FTX's stadium rights (Mar 2021) that the penny dropped.

When you look at the disclosed beneficial ownership of FTX, FTX.US its undeniable that CZ was a material shareholder.

Tara Van Ho, PhD

@TaraVanHo

I've been decisively described as a "scholaractivist" more than 1x. Perhaps unsurprisingly, but I take it as a point of pride that my research has impact beyond its "merely discursive" contribution.

A brief 🧵 in which @tarunkhaitan's & my differences seem bigger than they are.

https://twitter.com/tarunkhaitan/status/1556640881972858882

First, let's admit that in today's UKHE, it is a privilege to focus on "merely discursive" contributions yo the law. The UK Research Excellence Framework & grant-making bodies prioritise the kind of impact @tarunkhaitan dismisses as activism.

Society has demanded that our work move beyond seeking truth & disseminating knowledge. We are increasingly required to show that our work has some larger purpose & role. The choice to reject that demand is a choice of a particular kind of privilege.

1. People always tell you to do your own research, but you don't know where to start? This is a thread on how I conduct #DYOR on #cryptocurrency projects; hope it can serve as inspiration for you to dive deeper into #Blockchain.

2. First thing's first, I use excel to keep track of all of my findings. The main benefits:
-I don't waste time looking up something I've already looked up before
-I can easily compare metrics across projects
-I can conduct calculations and quantitative analysis

3. The first place I go is the website of the project. Here I look for the following:
-Project overview: does it solve a real problem / offer a unique solution
-Team: are they doxxed & do they have prior experience
-Roadmap: is there a clear timeline & has the team met milestones

@erasmuszu

A handful of commodities (🐮🌴🍫☕️) cause a third of all #deforestation, harming millions of forest-dependent people, the climate & biodiversity

A few commodity traders (Cargill, Wilmar, Olam, etc) handle this trade

Here’s what you need to know about their sourcing practices 🧵

The supply chains which move commodities around the world are oft described as an hourglass.
Thousands of farmers supply a handful of commodity traders who in turn supply millions of downstream customers.

When downstream companies (manufacturers, retailers) make sustainability commitments, they rely on the traders who supply them to implement these commitments.

Ditto new #DueDiligence legislation which bans the import of products linked to deforestation or human rights abuses.

MiningWatch Canada

@MiningWatch

Canadian mining companies continue to perpetuate human rights & environmental abuses globally, in part because Canada has refused to meaningfully address issues of corporate accountability. Bills #C262 & #C263 tabled today may change that. Press conference bit.ly/CPACPress

MP @HMcPhersonMP: Bills #C262 and #C263 aim to increase accountability for Canadian corporations that violate human rights in Canada and abroad. #CdnPoli #GetAccountable

MP @HMcPhersonMP: "Canadian mining companies are often registered in Canada, partly because Canada has extremely lax regulations." #GetAccountable

1/ Thread sur Maiar parce que j’ai vu ça partout sur Twitter (et autres réseaux sociaux) comme la révolution qui arrivera enfin à ramener les masses sur la blockchain. Maiar est un wallet avec différentes fonctions, là je vais parler uniquement de l’application mobile.

2/ On sait que l’app sur ordinateur n’a rien de plus aisé qu’un autre wallet en termes de première connectivité. Donc sur Maiar on vous propose de créer un compte sans avoir besoin d’email, de seed phrase, il suffit de créer votre compte avec votre numéro de téléphone et ...

3/ de recevoir un message de sécurité avec celui-ci. Donc ici rien de nouveau, il y a d'autres wallets comme @argentHQ qui permettent de faire exactement la même chose et d’augmenter la sécurité avec le temps et en fonction de l’envie de l’utilisateur pour sécuriser le système.

@ArmineYalnizyan

More than a quarter (27%) of 3,389 small firms with employees that responded, from a CFIB membership of 110,000 small firms (including the self-employed with no employees), from a business registry census of 1.2 million small and medium enterprises.
Not the only misleading info.

https://twitter.com/CFIB/status/1283723400041635840

The reason I know this is cuz y'day I was asked to respond to the CFIB claim for a piece by @bbritneff at @globalnews
Here's the presser: newswire.ca/news-releases/…
Before commenting, I asked for survey that revealed % "refused to return to work because of CERB". #DueDiligence

CFIB didn't publish this backgrounder. The reporter sent it. There were other findings (only 6 slides but one is labelled 13) but slide 1 shows only 25% of all biz that responded were having trouble finding staff. Biggest %: in QC (LTCs, hospitality) and MB (food processing/mfg)
