UN expert attacks ‘exploitative’ world economy in fight to save planet
Outgoing special rapporteur David Boyd says ‘there’s something wrong with our brains that we can’t understand how grave this is’
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 UN’s 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.

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.

It will keep getting worse if we don’t correct our course.
Even if we can’t reverse it, at least we can stop what’s making it worse and worse and worse.
