Episode 18 - COP, carbon and high-tech: who is setting the agenda?

October 26, 2021

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.
