I attended with one clear message: the current economic system will collapse because it does not value biodiversity, nature, nor the communities that protect ecosystems. We cannot continue to exploit nature for short term profit because whole systems will keep crossingā€¦

My intervention at the World Economic Forum last week šŸŒŽ

The market has not only forgotten where it came from, it is active destroying its origin. Can the market ever even respect nature and communities? If not, why would we continue with this self-destruction?

Fossil fuels are not just heating up the planetā€” they are displacing communities, they are polluting, they are spilling, they are poisoningā€¦

Thatā€™s why *reducing emissions* *only* isnā€™t the answerā€” the whole industry needs to be phased out because itā€™s extractive and dangerous

At the end of the day, the text doesnā€™t write the future. We do. The real work is outside of negotiations. Itā€™s in community building. Itā€™s in changing systems. We have everything to loose and everyone to gain. So letā€™s choose to be the people who see beyond an industry andā€¦

To those who opposed a clear reference to phase out of fossil fuels during the Climate Conference, I want to say:

Whether you like it or not, fossil fuel phase out is inevitable. Letā€™s hope it doesnā€™t come too late.

This conclusion is historic and insufficient. Historic because we finally have a global agreement naming fossil fuels as the problem and the source of the climate crisis and despite the oil lobby we held onto science based targets. Insufficient? You can read what the textā€¦

My message to the negotiators at COP28:

You must declare the end of the fossil fuel era. I beg you to object to any outcome that would let 1.5Ā°C die in Dubai. I beg you to not give in. I beg you to... hold the line.

COP28 is now on the verge of complete failure. The world desperately needs to phase out fossil fuels as quickly as possible, but this obsequious draft reads as if OPEC dictated it word for word. It is even worse than many had feared. It is ā€œOf the Petrostates, By the Petrostatesā€¦

And I remembered that Land Protectors are warriors
Only because we canā€™t be like the forests in a world where forests die
But when forests are allowed to be alive
Warriors will be ancestors in Father Sky
