UN expert attacks āexploitativeā world economy in fight to save planet
Outgoing special rapporteur David Boyd says āthereās something wrong with our brains that we canāt understand how grave this isā
The race to save the planet is being impeded by a global economy that is contingent on the exploitation of people and nature, according to the UNās outgoing leading environment and human rights expert.
Yeah, I've thought that we're likely past the point of no return for a while... and even if we're not, it will take radical and dramatic change to reverse course. I don't see that happening anywhere.
It will keep getting worse if we donāt correct our course.
Even if we canāt reverse it, at least we can stop whatās making it worse and worse and worse.

Yeah, we can slow it down. And we can look at ways to adapt, investing in technologies and social/political strategies to help people through the challenging decades to come.
@NorthernInvader I've been saying this for years now.
We're ALL guilty. Time for a new mindset.
@NorthernInvader honestly itās refreshing to see language like this describing it. instead of the fossil "emperor with no clothesā dynamic thatās stopping our ability to mitigate this.
