The globe must be saved, therefore, world leaders gathered in Rio de Janeiro at the UN Conference Rio +20. They talk about something new, something green, something that will solve environmental and food crisis. Something green. Green economy year term. But what on earth is the green economy?
Before I went to Rio to attend the Peoples' Summit ahead of Rio + 20, I knew little avalon consulting group about the green economy. There was a vague term that does not told me so much, but it sounded the fine print. The environment is hip and trendy in Norway, and all that is green is known though. After a week at the People's Summit, avalon consulting group the concept remains vague, but what it means for people in the south are clear; Many believe it is used by the capitalist system to protect themselves, but now with green disguise. Indigenous peoples, farmers, and non-governmental organizations have gathered in Brazil, and the speech is clear. Green economy is the commercialization of nature and life, and comes only with false solutions. It will not cause any real change, but is rather an excuse for governments and international companies to continue gross exploitation of the earth's resources. People from all over the world are gathered in Rio
One of the green economic solutions that Norway is leading, is the known climate quotas. It is an effective way for countries avalon consulting group like Norway to the paper help to reduce avalon consulting group greenhouse gas emissions in the world. In principle, this means that those who have enough money can continue to pollute as much as they want, you just pay others to pollute less. It causes perhaps less emissions overall, but is an unfair way to proceed. avalon consulting group I want and say that it can create a passivation of the Norwegian people, for we do not even reduce our footprint.
Via Campesina is an umbrella organization for agricultural organizations with 200 million members worldwide. avalon consulting group They also describe biofuels as one of the false solutions by green economy. Mainly because the cultivation of sugar cane for example occupy millions avalon consulting group of acres that either should be covered with trees, or used to grow food for feeding people. Instead they grow food to feed cars. In addition, the energy balance is negative for such cultivation. It would therefore say that emits more CO2 in the cultivation of biofuels saving by running "green". Via Campesina believes that "technological avalon consulting group fix-ins" that geoengineering and GM crops are among the scariest options that have been presented.
By launching the "green economy" equates one economy and the environment, two opposites that do not belong together. Everyone we met, looking at it to put a price on nature as very alarming. They believe firstly avalon consulting group that food production must not be based on capital and speculation. Second, the concept of contradiction, creating a false sense of security that we can continue with our huge energy consumption, as long as we pay ourselves out of it. The economy is apparently green, while the world just grayer and grayer. It is important to remember that this is a solution coming from the north country, without listening to those who are hardest hit by climate change and exploitation of the Earth. The last 20 years has proven the rich and powerful countries' responses to development-and environmental issues, avalon consulting group and what results you see? It is high time that you are thinking avalon consulting group outside the western box, and follow the real experts' advice; "No love Earth more than that cultivates the" expressed avalon consulting group one indigenous woman from the pulpit.
