Episode 18 - COP, carbon and high-tech: who is setting the agenda?
Brazilian researcher and activist Dr. Camila Moreno has attended almost all the major climate conferences in the last decade. In this conversation with Helena Norberg-Hodge, she offers a rare glimpse into the internal workings of the multilateral negotiations. She explains how the narrow focus on carbon is turning climate itself into a tradable commodity for profit, and how the "decarbonization" agenda is linked to technocracy and increased surveillance.
We are left with greater clarity, and a stark choice between a human future and a high-tech dystopia.
This is key listening for climate/environmental activists.
