From Warfare/ Extractive to Net-Positive/Regenerative economy – shifting the paradigm. Our fair share.

in RE: consistent #bullying of me: "#whatabout "Palestine & others"; vs. Ukraine?

Creating a change - breaking the vicious circle

Resources wars + over-extraction/exploitation/consumption (colonial capitalism) --> X170 climate change (a ‘threat & opportunity multiplier’) --> Regenerative economy / Net-positive for All

Quick Facts:

  • Competition for #resources = most of the armed/increased conflicts, incl civic & trade wars + corruption;
  • Humans causing #climatechange 170 times faster than natural forces with 100 companiesthe are source of 71% of GHGs;
  • Intensifying climate change influenced 3% - 20% wars in last 100 yrs
  • Today 2bn peare ople currently in war-affected areas.

Recent timeline:

  • 2007, Sudan’s Darfur: the world’s?first climate change conflict (Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary-General)
  • 2009, Iraq: "What I can tell you is that if I had managed to persuade the government of America that investing – instead of going into Iraq – in decarbonising their economy with roughly a tenth of [the estimated $3 trillion the US spent on the war], they would have managed it." (c) via scientific research.
  • 2022, Ukraine: energy/gas, food/grains, minerals, water, land, a global geostrategic hub for trade & defence.

What's next?

  • Reduction of overconsumption, over-extraction (5:1 in some cases !!!) and waste via circular/regen policies & business models
  • Reimagine value from a holistic perspective (macro+microeconomics) to capture it at every stage of a process
  • Build impact partnership networks to accelerate inclusion and just transition (localising goals in line with the Planetary system, not P&L or expected ROI just)
  • Incorporate fair wealth distribution (stakeholders vs shareholders) via shared value models at all levels: public, private etc.
  • Channel investments into real impact projects (tools available), verified performance-outcomes-based
  • Dynamic accountability / collective responsibility



Other? Mindfulness in all (rebalance can vs. need vs. want)

  • Rethink & rebalance resources, products and services consumption (travel, waste, energy, food, entertain "clients" - it's not a showoff) and leagcy you leave after you.
  • Update your lifestyle to a TOTAL net-positive vs ego-driven "bigger, shinier, larger".
  • Adapt orphans - there are no "theirs/ours". We are all one (i.e. A.Jolie & others advocating by actions)
  • Support & empower others (IQ without EQ = cruelty) at any level you can (i.e. a teacher in Georgia raised $700k for Ukraine in weeks!) Think big, start anyhow, unite efforts (whatever definition it is: portfolio effect, multiplier effect or simply cooperation etc.

Benefits (just some):

  • We MIGHT NOT extinct, Earth WON'T look like Swiss cheese (just see images from air of extractives + wars / bombings)
  • Minimum $12.5tn/ year sustainable revenue opportunities (WEF)
  • Global cooperation in reaching NDCs can lower 60% costs ($106 bn) in 2030 & much more
  • Catalyse Fairness & Equality, eradicate poverty (between 1990 & 2015, extreme poverty?declined?from close to 40% of the global population to 10%)

p.s. "The key lesson from the 2008 financial crisis was that coordination stemmed not from?selflessness?among parties, but precisely because it was in the interest of each party to work together." (c)


MAKE LOVE, STOP WARS
