We need to work within frameworks that exist. Tie tariff to environmental damage and tax breaks for countries that start reversing the trend. So many areas we need to attack but we need to do it in a way that politicians can understand.

Transformational change starts with raising awareness of this: populationmatters.org/the-fa… and then using national programmes of education/awareness/incentives to try and tackle it. I'm talking to you Sir Bob, and you need to work with politicians @PopnMatters @UNEnvironment

‘We want to leave a world for our children and grandchildren..’ Well, maybe we should focus less on our own species and leave a world for all species to live in.
Scrap all existing taxes and replace with a single natural resource Tax collected at source and based on the Eco damage caused by their use and consumption plus UBI and a wealth tax
Congratulations IPBES for highlighting the unprecedented threat our Nature is facing; Global community needs to come together and act as never before to minimize the risk .

Only A Truly Global, Collective Effort can Restore the Natural Balance But such an effort can be successful only if it addresses the Root of the problem, which is Human selfishness and greed And this is the root of most of the problems being faced by the World today
