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-financialization-of-nature%ef%bf%bc/

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
