October 22, 2024

"#CaseyCampHorinek, #Ponca, is at COP16 in Cali, Colombia today. "The Ponca Nation is on the ground here at COP16 in Colombia, trying to raise up the issue of #FalseSolutions to the climate conference, like #CarbonCredits and #BiodiversityCredits that are killing #nature.' She said #FossilFuels must be phased out.

"The #PoncaNation is among the nations of the world that have followed #Ecuador's lead and recognized the #RightsOfNature by law.
Casey Camp-Horinek, Ponca, spoke today on false solutions, including carbon credits which allow #corporations to continue and #pollute. 'Don't give them permission to murder.'"

"The political objective of these new nature markets is above all to maintain
the way of life in the rich countries, which will be able to continue destroying as before while claiming to compensate by saving a few trees and restoring a few mangroves in the poor countries,
and in the process creating a new asset class that is extremely profitable for the financial industry in the rich countries."

@KorimakoEcology @janhenry @phil_stevens Thanks Andy. That's disappointing. I look forward to the day when it is simply unprofitable for landowners in NZ to clear native vegetation like this. We all benefit from thriving native ecosystems and it would be great to see this reflected in our economics as well as regulations.
