Antonio Tricarico, of Re – Commons Italy, Danilo Urrea, of CENSAT Agua Viva – Friends of the Earth Colombia and Jutta Kill of the World Rainforest Movement are the speakers. They raised these ideas during Friends of the Earth International´s meeting on financialization of nature held in Paris, France, from May 26-28.

Real World Radio´s video aims to contribute to the analysis of a complex reality which is threatening the lives of several communities in different parts of the world.

The financialization of nature is also a tool used by capital to continue doing business while presenting their different strategies as solutions to the different crises. Polluting emission offseting mechanisms, especially the carbon market, which is putting a price on and selling carbon dioxide is a good example.

Several organisations and social movements working towards the Peoples Summit in Lima, Peru, to take place from December 8-12 in parallel to the United Nations COP 20 on Climate Change will strongly denounce the financialization of nature in these spaces.
