Brilliant vid!
Other 🙄-worthy nature & carbon financialisation terms:
'nature positive market'
'unitisation for liquidity'
'fungibility of carbon & nature units'
'provision for stapling'
'stacked or multiple issuance products'
'blended finance'
'concessional equity'
5/None of the 21 members of the UK-France biodiversity credit panel's members seems to be an ecologist or biologist
But all the #NatureAsAnAssetClass cheerleaders like WEF, TNFD, VCMI, The Nature Conservancy, Pollination, NatureFinance are represented

@ethicalfeast @ChristineMilne You, me, us! Stop going along with the financialisation of nature, #NatureAsAnAssetClass delay & distraction & demand different!
And why not a general strike!? We're well & truly in biodiversity & climate crisis!

We do not lack solutions for effective nature repair
We DON'T need a speculative, unproven, high-risk, costly nature repair market scheme
If we want to halt & reverse Australia’s environmental decline, a good starting point is to first do no (or less) harm
@LoneRangifer @EuanRitchie1 @ecogeog @megcevans @TheAusInstitute @MCarbonWatch @Wilderness_Aus @BobBrownFndn Some of the leadership is longstanding. And internationally well-connected & well-resourced (finance industry trying to manufacture #NatureAsAnAssetClass w ENGOs & profs in the academy☹️ assisting this effort)
Also perfect if you replace "AI" with carbon offsets, carbon credits, biodiversity offsets, biodiversity credits. #NatureAsAnAssetClass
"The compulsion to show 'balance' by always referring to AI's alleged potential for good should be dropped by acknowledging that the social benefits are still speculative while the harms have been empirically demonstrated."

There are viable public means of investing in biodiversity and nature protection and management
(for a start, we can redirect biodiversity-harming public expenditure & perverse subsidies)

As an applied ecologist, I see nothing promising in the neoliberal project of manufacturing “nature as an asset class”

How to construct Nature as an Asset Class into a hegemonic climate narrative
1. Establish a biodiversity financing gap: between total annual capital flows into biodiversity conservation and funds needed to manage biodiversity.
Estimated at between USD500bn to USD 800 bn a year.

The constant repetition that the scale of the task is beyond govt & requires private $$ via a nature repair market is a distraction that doesn’t stand up to scrutiny
1⃣ it’s entirely a matter of priorities
https://t.co/rrm6icZVME
Reversing Australia’s environmental decline is most definitely NOT beyond the gov.
Certainly not one that's agreed to
- $243bn in stage 3 tax cuts for rich pple
- $171bn for nuclear submarines
- $11bn/yr for fossil fuel subsidies
It’s just not a priority for the @AlboMP gov
#NatureAsAnAssetClass
it'll be great for bureaucracy, business, IT, environmental & sustainability consultants, lawyers & a finance industry hungry for new investible, tradeable asset classes
But what exactly are the benefits for biodiversity or nature?
https://t.co/txtLSItWdt
If these environmental accounting, climate & nature disclosure frameworks & nature markets take off,
carbon, environment & biodiversity measurement, advising, contracting, reporting & auditing systems will be big business

like, why a market for biodiversity or species or nature repair credits at all? #ShowUsTheEvidence
https://t.co/S9BNHXpfmT
Why a National Biodiversity Market at all?
Given the dsyfunctional fed carbon credit mkt & NSW & Vic’s #BiodiversityOffset mkts, plus >20 yrs experience w biodiversity mkts globally. What’s the evidence that a NBM is a credible means for biodiversity conservation & restoration?
Traded biodiversity 'credits' are key to Labor's environmental plans, but critics are not convinced
