Today's announcement of Canada's new 2035 climate target is a devastating blow to #climatejustice efforts around the world.

Experts have determined that Canada's fair share of the global effort is ~80% reductions from 2005 levels by 2035 + additional support to the Global South.

The idea that conservation is anti-industry or anti-profit is rooted in the idea that we're not a part of our ecosystems. Economies that nurture the land while returning profit is not only possible; it's THE path forward.

They've done it in BC, Canada.

How heartbreakingly regressive, shortsighted.

Will it be too late before India realizes what an invaluable resource their 100 million indigenous peoples are in the fight against climate change?

Where other nations are enabling indigenous land stewardship, India commits genocide.

84% of "carbon credits" are junk and most of the money ends up in the rich countries, in the pockets of brokers, consultants etc.

It's all scam and always has been as many people (inc. me) have been saying for decades.

For Mordecai Mogada (Kenya) it's just money laundering.

Anyway, follow 👇.
🚨 Article 6, the Paris Agreement's carbon trading mechanism was agreed at COP29.

🚨 It's a "get out of jail free card" for Big Polluters.

🚨 Carbon markets are about profit and have nothing to do with addressing the climate crisis.
