A new article on the Radical Ecological Democracy website - "Marketing the planet - The financialization of nature"
by Pallav Das 31 Jan '22

31 Jan '22

Friends, A new article, "Marketing the planet - The financialization of nature" has been uploaded to the Radical Ecological Democracy website. https://radicalecologicaldemocracy.org/marketing-the-planet-the-financializ… As pressure increases on corporations to transform their business models to address climate change, their response has been a stealth move in the shape of a project, which aims to financialize nature. The power elite recognizes that as ecological services regulating climate, and providing food, water, soil stabilization and cultural values become scarce and gradually degrade, they become more attractive to financial markets as economic assets for speculation and trade. Helena Paul discusses why this attempt at deflecting attention from the real need to change our current economic system based on perpetual growth would prove disastrous, and how “alternative” ideas and practices are contesting this nefarious design to perpetuate the neoliberal order. Please share the article with your networks and join the discussion on RED listserv or the website discussion forum. Helena Paul is copied here in case you would like to contact her directly. Best, Pallav

[NEW PUBLICATION] Southeast Asia COVID-19 Grassroots Report Vol. 2
by Angging Aban 26 Jan '22

26 Jan '22

Dear friends, Sharing with you our latest publication: *COVID 19 Grassroots Report Volume 2 | Southeast Asian Peoples in Pandemic Times: Challenges and Responses * It is within the context of the dire and foreboding situation that this present volume has been put together by the Program on Alternative Development of the University of the Philippines Center for Integrative and Development Studies (UP CIDS AltDev). The 28 case studies presented here recount the various ways marginalized and vulnerable sectors have coped with their respective government’s strict and often discriminatory containment measures. At the same time, in the absence or deficiency of government assistance, they have also adopted their own creative strategies and innovative programs to alleviate their conditions and get through the crisis.

It has been advertised as a way for ‘global food systems transformation to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals’. Yet, the UNFSS is advancing a vision of food systems governance that sets the foundation for stronger corporate influence both of the UN and food systems at large, while weakening spaces where food sovereignty movements have secured the right to participate.

Dear All: I am happy to share with you this conference organized by the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence on Climate Justice. Best regards Massimo *"Making the point. Carbon neutral or carbon zero? Towards COP26: transforming climate policies and societies"* *27/10/2021 - 4:30 – 7:30 P.M. CEST* The conference will host several international guests to discuss the crucial issues regarding the transition toward a just and low-carbon society. The conference will start with an overview of the global carbon budget, with a focus on present emissions and possible future scenarios. Then, will be presented mitigation campaigns for social and energy transition, specifically the international campaign for the adoption of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty and the Italian national legal campaign “Giudizio Universale”. Chase Iron-Eyes will report the battle of the Lakota indigenous people, whose territory is strongly threatened by the fossil fuel industry. Then, the conference will investigate interactions between research and environmental battles with the campaign which led to the ban of gas flaring activities in Ecuador. Finally, the Jean Monnet Centre will share its project to map good practices of environmental justice.
