Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures
https://decolonialfutures.net/

Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures (GTDF) is an arts/research collective that uses this website as a workspace for collaborations around different kinds of artistic, pedagogical, cartographic, and relational experiments that aim to identify and de-activate colonial habits of being, and to gesture towards the possibility of decolonial futures.

GTDF is also a practice that is multi-layered and rather difficult to explain, but we will give it a go.

It is about hospicing worlds that are dying within and around us with care and integrity, as well as attention to the lessons these deaths offer, while also assisting with the birth of new, potentially wiser possibilities, without suffocating them with projections;
.
It is about facing our complicity in violence and unsustainability and its implications with the courage of really seeking to connect with the collective pain, past, present and future;
.
It is about composting our individual and collective shit with humility, joy, generosity and compassion, trying to “dig deeper and relate wider”;
.
It is about holding space for difficult conversations and silences without relationships falling apart;
.
It is about recognizing and taking responsibility for harmful modern-colonial habits of being (in ourselves and around us) that cannot be stopped by the intellect, by good intentions and by spiritual, artistic or embodied practices alone;
.
It is about interrupting modern-colonial addictions, in particular addictions to the consumption of knowledge, of self-actualization, of experiences, of critique, of alternatives, of relationships and of communities;
.
It is about recognizing that we are an extension of the land-metabolism that is the planet, not the other way around, preparing for the end of the world as we know it, and showing up differently so that “another end of the world” becomes possible;
.
It is about dis-investing in desires for unrestricted autonomy, authority, certainty, control, protagonism, purity, popularity, superiority and validation to create space for acccountabilities, for response-abilities, for exiled capacities and for deeper intimacies;
.
It involves learning and unlearning, disarming and de-centering, dethroning and de-arrogantizing, detoxifying and decluttering, mourning, grieving and healing, digesting and metabolizing, seeing ourselves as cute and pathetic, so that the wider metabolism can breathe and move more easily within and around us;
.
It involves loosening our attachments to our self images and to what we think we want, so that we might instead step up, own up, clean up, grow up, wake up and show up to do what is really needed, whether or not it fits with our personal agendas.

TADEAS:

the denial of systemic, historical, and ongoing violence and of complicity in harm (the fact that our comforts, securities, and enjoyments are subsidized by expropriation and exploitation here and elsewhere);

the denial of the limits of the planet and of the unsustainability of modernity-coloniality (the fact that the finite Earth-metabolism cannot sustain exponential growth, consumption, extraction, exploitation, and expropriation indefinitely);

the denial of entanglement (our insistence in seeing ourselves as separate from each other and the land, rather than “entangled” within a wider living metabolism that is bio-intelligent); and,

the denial of the magnitude and the complexity of the problems we need to face together (the tendency to look for simplistic solutions that make us feel and look good and that may address symptoms, but not the root causes of our collective complex predicament).

Skupina ekologických organizací se dala dohromady a vytvořila novou kampaň „Zastavme špinavé prachy“, která si dala za cíl přesvědčit pobočky zahraničních bank a pojišťoven v Česku, aby přestaly financovat těžbu a spalování fosilních paliv. Po útoku Ruska na Ukrajinu uspořádala skupina „Zastavme špinavé prachy“ minulý týden happeningy ve třech českých bankách, které financují těžbu plynu v Rusku a požadují, aby kromě klimatu, skončily tyto banky s finanční podporou Ruska a tím i války na Ukrajině. Stejná kampaň současně probíhá po celém světě.

Fosilní Austrálie chce být supervelmocí obnovitelné energie. Slibuje to čerstvě zvolený premiér - VOXPOT

(...) poblahopřál k vítězství Anthonymu Albanesemu. Ten vede Australskou stranu práce (labouristy), ale ani ta nemusí být po sečtení zbývajících hlasů schopna sestavit většinovou vládu sama. I když to tak zatím vypadá. Labouristé tak budou nejspíš potřebovat podporu ekologicky zaměřených nezávislých poslanců. I to může být důvod, proč se Albanese rozhodl volit velmi extrémní rétoriku směrem k boji s klimatickou krizí.

„Společně můžeme ukončit klimatické války,“ řekl ve vítězném projevu. „Společně můžeme využít této příležitosti pro Austrálii, aby se stala supervelmocí obnovitelné energie,“ pronesl před svými skalními podporovateli.

A major upgrade — Earth4All
https://www.earth4all.life/a-major-upgrade

Earth4All started as a vibrant collective of leading economic thinkers, scientists, policy leaders, and advocates, convened by The Club of Rome, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, the Stockholm Resilience Centre and the Norwegian Business School.

With more and more people and organisations joining, Earth4All has become a platform to connect and amplify the chorus of voices that want to upgrade our economies. We are not starting from scratch. The momentum is growing. Communities and policy makers across the world are already changing the way we think economics.

Everybody can get involved. We need everybody to secure a safe and prosperous future for everyone on this planet. It is possible.

Earth4All builds on the legacies of The Limits to Growth and the Planetary Boundaries frameworks. Science is at the heart of our work. We rethink capitalism and move beyond GDP for a safe, secure and prosperous future in the Anthropocene

toto uz tu mozno bolo, neviem, ja mam alzheimera tak pre mna je kazdy den vzdy ako novy :)

zaujimave ze si vybral zrovna RWE, mozno si spocital, ze u nejakeho Gazpromu by asi neuspel :)

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) wants to prevent ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) funds from greenwashing. The SEC published a fact sheet with amendments calling for funds to show proof of their claims and to disclose how they choose companies and vote at annual meetings.

A recent article on Nature claims the start of the "Pandemicene" caused by climate change.

2022 Climate change increases cross-species viral transmission risk
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04788-w

At least 10,000 virus species have the capacity to infect humans, but at present, the vast majority are circulating silently in wild mammals1,2. However, climate and land use change will produce novel opportunities for viral sharing among previously geographically-isolated species of wildlife3,4. In some cases, this will facilitate zoonotic spillover—a mechanistic link between global environmental change and disease emergence. Here, we simulate potential hotspots of future viral sharing, using a phylogeographic model of the mammal-virus network, and projections of geographic range shifts for 3,139 mammal species under climate change and land use scenarios for the year 2070. We predict that species will aggregate in new combinations at high elevations, in biodiversity hotspots, and in areas of high human population density in Asia and Africa, driving the novel cross-species transmission of their viruses an estimated 4,000 times. Because of their unique dispersal capacity, bats account for the majority of novel viral sharing, and are likely to share viruses along evolutionary pathways that will facilitate future emergence in humans. Surprisingly, we find that this ecological transition may already be underway, and holding warming under 2 °C within the century will not reduce future viral sharing. Our findings highlight an urgent need to pair viral surveillance and discovery efforts with biodiversity surveys tracking species’ range shifts, especially in tropical regions that harbor the most zoonoses and are experiencing rapid warming.


ugo bardi to hejtuje:

But how can climate change favor pathogen diffusion? Well, according to the authors, it is because it will favor cross-species transmission. It is called zoonotic spillover.
Ah... yes. But how do you know that climate change will favor interspecies interaction?
Well, because, oh.... we assume that species will interact more with each other.
But do you have any proof of that?
Not really, but we have a model.

A Year After the Shell Ruling: Big Victories & Next Steps for Climate Litigation - CleanTechnica
https://cleantechnica.com/2022/05/27/a-year-after-the-shell-ruling-big-victories-next-steps-for-climate-litigation/

In March, a first-of-its-kind case was announced against Shell’s board of directors. The suit seeks to hold them personally liable for failing to adopt and implement a climate strategy that aligns with the Paris agreement. Failure to lead an effective transition, the suit argues, is a breach of board duties under the UK Companies Act. This suit points back to the earlier legal win against Shell in the Netherlands. That ruling ordered Shell to address emissions along the full value chain, including pollution from burning Shell products. Now, a year later, Shell’s board has tried to narrow its responsibility to address only the emissions from Shell’s production and manufacturing operations.

SHEFIK: ad "neda"

presto je tu finalni mnozstvi lidi, kteri jsou kazdy rok v kontrolnich/rozhodujicich funkcich pro ekosystem a rozhodujou, co se bude delat, na zaklade svych internich modelu, protoze zeme se toci a zivot jde dal ,)

me prijde vtipny a priznacny, ze studie se diva na nejaky parametry toho systemu managementu, ale jakoby bere toho, kdo dela ten management jako sekundarniho, pricemz je to naopak - coz je to primarni, co zohlednuje holistic management (celek systemu - rozhodujici akteri a proces jejich rozhodovani) ... pricemz tyhle studie se zabyvaj nejakou partikularni praktikou, zde holisticky planovani pastvy. sam savory treba rika, ze tyhle spory jsou nesmysl, protoze neresej to jadro, kterym je ta systemicka regulace (ktera zahrnuje neuplnost poznani, informaci, atd)
