🌿 The Hoodwinked Collaborative is proud to unveil the pilot Module on Nature Based Solutions! 📚 This curriculum is now available in PDF form for educators, organizers, and all types of learners to deepen a shared understanding of the threat of Nature-based Solutions vs. real solutions for climate justice. 🌍 ClimateFalseSolutions.org/nbs

This curriculum aims to achieve four main goals:

1️⃣ DECOLONIZE/REVITALIZE: Reclaim and center the knowledge sovereignty of Indigenous, local, grassroots, EJ communities and movements. 🌱

2️⃣ UNSETTLE/SUBVERT: Deliberately demystify, unsettle, and subvert the power and patriarchalism of dominant actors and their status as “experts,” while reclaiming the power of communities to act upon autonomous, collective, and democratic knowledge. 🚫🤯

3️⃣ COLLECTIVELY ACT TO RESIST AND TRANSFORM: Facilitate knowledge sharing spaces, training, and movement building knowledge base for people engaging with or in contested decision making spaces. 🤝✊

4️⃣ EXPAND ACCESSIBLE, PUBLIC, & CRITICAL CLIMATE EDUCATION: Provide a curriculum that is publicly accessible to a broad and diverse range of audiences and learning spaces, and which can be a tool used autonomously for differing purposes and varying types of engagement regarding false versus real climate solutions. 📢🌐

Please share widely! We can’t do this work without you. If you are able to, please make a donation so that we can continue to create accessible curricula on false climate solutions! Upcoming modules include Geoengineering and Nuclear, as well as others forthcoming. To get involved, reach out to us at hoodwinked@riseup.net. 🌈💚

ACTORS: WHO’S BEHIND THE WHEEL 🚗💨
The scheme of NbS has not simply emerged out of thin air. It has a large and powerful network of colluding actors who have driven and continue to drive its development and implementation in order to profit off of exacerbating the climate crisis while avoiding accountability for their role in the crisis and positioning themselves as key players in addressing it (IEN 2022). These drivers of NbS include corporations, governments, intergovernmental organizations, NGOs - particularly conservation NGOs, academia, and the science-policy field. 🌐🤝💼

WHY ARE NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS FALSE? 🤔🌿 Sim

WHY ARE NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS FALSE? 🤔🌿
Simply put, NbS is a false solution because it deepens relations of exploitation and does not address the root causes of climate change. Beyond that, NbS brings on a whole host of other problems.
NbS is a cop-out of meaningful systemic change because it does not address the root cause of climate change 🔄🚫
Nbs puts profit over people and the people 💸🌎
For NbS to be implemented, they require huge amounts of land and/or water, inhabited by Indigenous and peasant communities 🏞️👩‍🌾
Nature-based solutions directly co-opt ecological practices based on Traditional Indigenous Knowledge (TIK), turning them into financialized and privatized instruments 🌱💰
Most NbS projects are found in the Global South yet it is the Global North that is primarily responsible for climate change 🌍🔍
NbS does not work at the most fundamental scientific level. NbS ignores the difference between fossil carbon and biological carbon (sometimes called modern, terrestrial, or biogenic carbon). 🚫🔬
NbS brings a one size fits-all approach. There is no one size fits all approach or silver bullet to solving climate change ⚙️🌐
NbS projects, and Western conservation projects more broadly, operate on the idea that nature is external to humans, passive, inert, and that humans are therefore justified in the complete control and ownership over land. 🌳🙅‍♂️

🌍 Climate change is real, and it’s happening now. 😱

We’re already seeing the devastating impacts. The floods, fires, droughts, and disease will continue to increase. 🔥🌊💔

This book is a wake-up call. ⏰

It shows us how the climate crisis is being used by corporations to promote false solutions that will only make things worse. 🏭🚫

We need to reject these schemes and demand real change. ✊

WHAT ARE NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS? 🌿🌍
It’s essentially a catch-all term, a depository for rebranding long-standing green colonial initiatives including conservation and carbon trading, among others, to clean up their bad reputation. 🔄🚫

Nature-based solutions (NbS), also sometimes called natural climate solutions (NCS), are claimed “solutions” to the climate and ecological crisis based on the deeply flawed idea that leveraging the capacities of nature to store and hold onto carbon can help solve the crisis. NbS is “another term used for land-based carbon offset programs or conservation projects including forest, soil, agriculture, and ocean offsetting programs. Carbon brokers and managers make money off of the projects, while polluters can claim carbon neutrality or that they have met their net-zero emissions reduction targets.” @ien_earth NM No False Solutions

NO TO NUCLEAR POWER. "Dirty energy companies want people to believe that nuclear power is necessary to reduce greenhouse gases and avert the climate crisis. This could not be further from the truth. Nuclear power is not a climate solution: it is too dirty, too dangerous, too expensive and too slow. At every stage of production, it is rooted in environmental injustice and human rights violations."

NO to certain types of "Renewable Energy"

"Along with accepting limits, we need to look critically at each proposed development and ask important questions: Has it been endorsed by the local people it will most affect? Does it supply local needs? What would it entail elsewhere in supplying components? How long will it last? How can its parts be recycled or safely disposed of? Keys to a sustainable future are relocalizing and decolonizing. A region that can supply most of its own food and other necessities is more secure than one that depends on long supply chains."
