The theme is holding extractive industries that have been platformed to account: a mixtape of moments from 3 days at @tedcountdown ✨⁣
⁣
DAY 1 - Slide 1-3: Moments from the Q&A at a lunch with Amazon’s Director of EU Sustainability. I asked a question of labor rights and corporate tax evasion, to which I received no answer. Amazon had sales income of €44bn in Europe alone in 2020 but paid no corporation tax. ⁣
⁣
@nomikikonst followed up this question by painting a clear portrait of how lack of corporate tax accountability directly impacts the communities @Amazon operates in, and class issues are further punctuated in the face of the climate crisis. ⁣
⁣
As noted by the moderator @joconfino, “sustainability” that fails to address the dimensions of labor and tax is not enough. ⁣
⁣
⁣
DAY 2 - Slide 4-7: A few days leading up to the Countdown Summit, it became known that Ben Van Beurden, CEO of @Shell Royal Dutch— the 7th most polluting company in the world, and responsible for a series of atrocities including the death of 9 Ogoni environmental activists from the Nigeria— was to give a TED Talk. Because of the demands of youth activists, a spot was given to a Scottish climate activist & @stopcambo organizer @laurenthesunflower to speak. ❤️⁣
⁣
⁣
DAY 3 - Slide 8-9: In conversation with the brilliant @tzeporahberman, chair of the Fossil Fuel Nonproliferation Treaty initiative: a global initiative to phase out fossil fuels and support a just transition. Tzeporah gave one of the most important talks at the summit (which is now available to view online!) speaking to the failure of industries and governments to address the rising PRODUCTION of fossil fuel (not just emissions). ⁣
⁣
⁣
🚩 We can’t confuse the language of green capitalism with that of climate justice. The dominant narrative needs to change in these spaces; centering a new reality beyond the language of “net-zero” and market-based solutions. 🚩⁣
⁣
Thank you to the @TED team for the invite— in this critical juncture for people & the planet, I’m eager to see to how this space & dialogue will evolve. 🙏🏽⁣

It’s been a powerful few days in Edinburgh for @tedcountdown with emotions ranging from grief to joy— a video with some key learnings + reflections is on its way. ⁣
⁣
But in the meantime, here’s an appreciation post of folx & friends who are shifting the narrative of sustainability & environmentalism to be rooted in community & climate justice, rather than the language of business opportunities, profitability, & ROI.⁣
⁣
Big love to all of them— be sure to follow & support their work & organizations, all tagged 🤍 ⁣
