  • Summary

  • Camila Moreno is one of civil society's foremost experts on climate policy, and her critical analysis of carbon metrics, digitalization and corporate power is unparalleled. Coming from social and environmental movements in Latin America and her native Brazil, Camila has attended all the COP climate negotiations since 2008. She has written _Carbon Metrics and the New Colonial Equations_ and is a researcher at the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro. In this episode, Camila elucidates the history and possible future trajectories of the emerging techno-globalist power structure, with a particular focus on how that agenda is closely tied to international climate governance, like the COP climate negotiations. She highlights how the complexity of climate has been reduced to a narrow focus on carbon dioxide, and how that has served to co-opt diverse environmental struggles into a corporate-friendly agenda based on market-based schemes, digitalization and the financialization of nature. Camila gives us all a strong warning about continuing further down this technocratic path.
