IPBES: Public spending on environmentally harmful subsidies is approximately $2.4 trillion! Forget bs #biodiversity credits markets, we must focus our demands on shifting harmful subsidies and not stop until we get it.

As the roadmap towards nature credits has been added under the flagship actions of the Water Resilience Strategy, we fear that water quality trading might be part of #naturecredits in the future, 4/5

The provision of clean water might even be more appealing to institutional investors than biodiversity, as it is perceived by some as having the potential to provide high revenue streams. 3/5

...several neoliberal governments and institutions are pushing to financialise the purification of water, using a similar framing and talking points to those used with carbon and biodiversity. 2/5

Is water insecurity going to follow the same political playbook as climate change and biodiversity loss?
Water insecurity is on the map of forthcoming national security risks, together with food shortages. Rather than addressing the root causes of water insecurity, many of which are political, 1/5

Same story with plastic offsets that some oil producing countries and lobbies push as a way to avoid a global cap on plastic production. 3/3

I couldn't agree more, biodiversity credits/offsets are indeed imo mostly about protecting the status quo, i.e. helping maintain the social licence to operate for harmful activities, rather than curb them & shift public subsidies away from them and towards conservation. 2/3

World Economic Forum recommends tech firms buy #biodiversity offsets to address their impacts and dependencies on nature or "risk undermining their licence to operate." 1/3

A growing movement in Brussels is spreading the message that asking business to follow rules leads to economic death. They're working hard to destroy EU environmental + chemical protections.
