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").

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.

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?"

This is a learning thread.
A lesson in #language, "purpose" & #NewPower.
From inception, #NetZero was devised as the language to garner uptake/demand from citizenry while simultaneously building a framework to propel #CarbonMarkets, #CCS technology, #NETs, & #nuclear.

Good that you're joining some of the dots now, George. Let's join some more shall we?
The affluent are indeed the main driver of the crises we face. Monbiot is amongst those affluent people.
What's your salary George? How much are your assets valued? How many houses do you own?

Wow. Our #naturenow film on Natural Climate Solutions just won two Webbys! Massive congrats to @tommustill, @trianglemonday, @GretaThunberg, @Charlie_Lat and the rest of the magnificent team.

Only yesterday it won best digital marketing campaign. I've never known a short film to have such an impact. It's had 60 million views already, and has changed the global conversation, bringing #NaturalClimateSolutions from the margins to the limelight.

When four of us launched the Natural Climate Solutions campaign, in our free time and without a penny of funding, I hoped that it would raise at least some awareness. But even before our film was released, it went beserk. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Let's start here, with this misleading article shared by the GT account.
To start. From the article:
"The theme of this year’s gathering in #Davos is “#stakeholders for a cohesive and sustainable world”. According to the forum’s website, leaders will meet to discuss ideas and improve our global progress on climate change."
theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

What is not shared is the primary focus:
"Focus of the meeting will be on renewing the concept of stakeholder #capitalism to overcome income inequality, societal division and the #climate crisis."
This #WEF release is new (Jan 14 2020) - but the focus & theme is not.

It's #ClimateWeek2019, so let's have a THREAD about carbon opportunity costs, since we can't keep warming below 2°C (let alone 1.5°) without halting deforestation - and probably reforesting large areas. How we produce and consume food has a large bearing on what's possible. 1/
In recent years, agriculture and associated land-use change have been responsible for roughly a quarter of total annual GHG emissions from all sectors. The data below are from 2010 (Source: sustainablefoodfuture.org). 2/
Those numbers above are from GHG emissions in a recent year. But massive amounts of former forest land have already been cleared for agriculture, which currently occupies nearly half of the world's vegetated lands. And agriculture remains the leading driver of deforestation. 3/
Today we launch our very exciting campaign for a massive global programme to draw down carbon from the air through ecological restoration. @dpcarrington explains it here: theguardian.com/environment/20…
New scientific studies reveal that #rewilding has a much greater potential for carbon drawdown than almost anyone imagined, and could make the difference between a habitable and uninhabitable climate. #naturalclimatesolutions theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
We've published a letter in the Guardian, calling on governments to give #NaturalClimateSolutions the commitment they deserve, signed among others by @GretaThunberg, @MichaelEMann, @MargaretAtwood, @NaomiAKlein, @PhilipPullman, @billmckibben + @SimonLLewis theguardian.com/environment/20…
1/10 The spore-based idea spreader in me is all stirred up after last couple weeks in London, Cambridge, multiple stops in Brazil, so here's a little (peaceful) mushroom cloud of ideas as I resettle in NYC and recover from extreme #saudades after exposure to such great people.
2/10 Heard sense of urgency + diverse commitment to action at @volansjohn's 10 yr anniversary eve - appreciated call to positive imagination by @paulbunje paired w @kavpm + @cloverhogan's signal to hear voices of our youth (thinking: maybe also heed those of our own inner kids?)
3/10 Also in London, convo's about need to embrace best tools (e.g. @FutureFitBiz) + close the loop WITH nature, include soils, forests, ag in all climate + industry strategy, per @JustinCMAdams @nature_org @ProjectDrawdown ++ #NaturalClimateSolutions naturalclimatesolutions.org
