The WWF, renowned global nature conservancy brand, greenwashes the ecological crimes of corporations currently destroying the last remaining rainforests and natural habitats on earth; and it accepts their money. This business model of the famous “eco” organization does more to harm nature than to protect it. The WWF cannot refute the facts gathered by esteemed journalist and filmmaker Wilfried Huismann during his two-year research expedition to all corners of the green empire. A journalistic tour de force unearthing the grim secrets behind the warm and cuddly façade of the WWF, Huismann’s exposé went straight to the German bestseller list. The book is now available in English, unabridged and updated. Huismann also dug deep into the early history of the world’s most powerful nature conservancy organization and found several skeletons in the closet: the elite secret club known as “The 1001” and a private military commando unit deployed in Africa against big game poachers – and against black African liberation movements. In the name of environmental protection the WWF has participated in the displacement and cultural extinction of indigenous peoples the world over.

The concept of sustainability lies at the core of the challenge of environment and development, and the way governments, business and environmental groups respond to it. Green Development provides a clear and coherent analysis of sustainable development in both theory and practice. Green Development explores the origins and evolution of mainstream thinking about sustainable development and offers a critique of the ideas behind them. It draws a link between theory and practice by discussing the nature of the environmental degradation and the impacts of development. It argues that, ultimately, ‘green’ development has to be about political economy, about the distribution of power, and not about environmental quality. Its focus is strongly on the developing world. The fourth edition retains the broad structure of previous editions, but has been updated to reflect advances in ideas and changes in international policy. Greater attention has been given to the political ecology of development, market-based and neoliberal environmentalism, and degrowth. This fully revised edition discusses: the origins of thinking about sustainability and sustainable development, and its evolution to the present day; the ideas that dominate mainstream sustainable development (including natural capital, the green economy, market environmentalism and ecological modernisation); critiques of mainstream ideas and of neoliberal framings of sustainability, and alternative ideas about sustainability that challenge ‘business as usual’ thinking, such as arguments about limits to growth and calls for degrowth; the dilemmas of sustainability in the context of forests, desertification, food and farming, biodiversity conservation and dam construction; the challenge of policy choices about sustainability, particularly between reformist and radical responses to the contemporary global dilemmas. Green Development offers clear insights into the challenges of environmental sustainability, and social and economic development. It is unique in offering a synthesis of theoretical ideas on sustainability and in its coverage of the extensive literature on environment and development around the world. The book has proved its value to generations of students as an authoritative, thought-provoking and readable guide to the field of sustainable development.

Het doek valt voor de ethische coöperatieve bank NewB. Na tien jaren smachten en trachten om een nieuwe, ‘ethische’, minstens alternatieve bank te creëren – als antwoord op de bankencrisis van 2008 en het Arco-faillissement in 2011 – moeten de initiatiefnemers het falen van de bank erkennen. Nochtans was er bij aanvang veel animo voor een nieuwe én coöperatief opgezette bank die zou trachten het ethisch-maatschappelijke engagement in de bancaire sector in het DNA van haar producten en werking in te planten. Uiteindelijk was er geen tekort aan investerende coöperanten en werd enthousiast gestart. We laten de historiek van wat daarna gebeurde over aan de auteur. Wat deed dit project ontsporen? Wat heeft gemaakt dat het fout liep? Niemand is beter geplaatst dan Dirk Coeckelbergh, in de eerste helft van het project persoonlijk betrokken, om met zijn ruime kennis en ervaring het hele proces van NewB, van aanvang tot doodstrijd, te fileren in al zijn details en nuances. Dat hij zich daarbij baseert op een berg aan documenten die voor iedereen toegankelijk, want openbaar zijn, is zonder meer een enorm pluspunt. Ze maken het onderzoek van Coeckelbergh tot een doorwrochte analyse waaraan moeilijk afbreuk kan worden gedaan. Ethisch ondernemen, ethisch investeren en ethisch bankieren zijn geen nieuwe topics. Sinds business ethics als academische discipline vanuit de Anglo-Saksische wereld het Kanaal overstak begin negentiger jaren van vorige eeuw hebben heel wat academici – filosofen, economen, theologen en anderen – zich de vraag gesteld hoe het een met het ander te combineren valt en wat daarbij de struikelstenen, drempels en schietgeweren zijn. We hebben er zélf in de voorbije decennia, ondermeer via de oprichting van een Vlaams Netwerk voor Zakenethiek, ons steentje aan bijgedragen. Dat alles heeft geleid tot een pak consultancy, tot audits en kwaliteitslabels, tot dikke boeken en heel wat conferenties. In de schoot van de het Europese netwerk European Business Ethics Network (EBEN) vergaderen academici en afgevaardigden van banken al meer dan een decennium (achter gesloten deuren). En ethisch bankieren heeft ondertussen ook bij ons al tot enkele nieuwe bankprojecten geleid. Die hebben ondertussen aangetoond te kunnen groeien en bloeien. De vraag naar ethisch gekaderd investeren is zelfs dermate groot gebleken dat ook de klassieke grootbanken hebben geïnvesteerd in allerlei ethische of duurzame – we staan hier niet stil bij het onderscheid tussen beide – fondsen. Onderzoek toont steeds weer aan dat ze rendabel zijn, minstens zoveel als de niet-ethische/niet-duurzame. We kunnen in dat verband niet anders dan verwijzen naar de grondige analyse die Coeckelbergh hierover vroeger reeds publiceerde (Ethisch en duurzaam beleggen in België. Historiek, stand van zaken en kritische visie. (2011) Antwerpen/Apeldoorn: Garant). Ethisch bankieren blijkt levensvatbaar. Wat de vraag naar het falen van NewB enkel maar pregnanter maakt. Als ethicus kunnen we daarover uiteraard enkel maar tevreden zijn. Al blijven we ook knelpunten zien. De belangrijkste lijkt ons, vanuit onze eigen ervaring terzake, de ontwikkeling van een efficiënte methodologie om projecten, fondsen, kredietaanvragen en dies meer te beoordelen op de ethische basiswaarden en -principes die de bank zich heeft gesteld. Daarnaast vormt ook de samenstelling van het ethische comité dat dergelijke beoordelingen moet doen een probleem. Er zijn nu eenmaal weinig tot geen specialisten in Vlaanderen in de professionele en bedrijfsethiek en nog minder in de specifieke ethiek voor de bancaire sector. De betreffende comités moeten het daarom vaak doen met mensen die weliswaar ethisch zeer gemotiveerd zijn, maar de zo noodzakelijke academische kennis ontberen. Uit zijn gedegen historisch bronnenonderzoek concludeert ook Coeckelbergh finaal tot enkele knipperlichten voor een dergelijk project. Dat maakt dit boek niet enkel tot een relaas van een gefaald bankproject, maar ook een leerschool voo

The manufacturing of Greta Thunberg - for consent: the political economy of the non-profit industrial complex We are introduced to the not-so accidental phenomena of Greta Thunberg, the current child prodigy and face of the youth climate change movement. The "climate change is real" message is reframed for public consumption and rolled out at an international level, using Greta and her global platform to "sound the alarm" on climate change. This climate emergency is likened to a "house on fire", while urging the public to be serious, patriotic, empathetic and, of course, nonviolent. Not one sentence of the new strategy mentions the horrific impact militarism has on climate change. The New Climate Economy being pushed by groups like Extinction Rebellion merely repackage our oppression into emergency mode. This urgency becomes global so that governments, NGOs and corporations will all direct immediate funding towards unlocking trillions of capital needed to save capitalism by further funding the new green imperialism. Today's youth are used and molded into market solutions to insulate a global elite. Celebrity-sponsored activism seeks to build a new industry in which NGOs, the media and corporate powers collude to get people to support the very industries we should be erasing from the planet. The planet's most powerful capitalists lie behind these "youth-led" movements for climate change, helping to manufacture consent for the "fourth industrial revolution" in an attempt to quell resistance to industrial civilisation.

From an acclaimed economist and politician, a unique, never-before-seen look at the life of one of India’s most well-known prime ministers—Indira Gandhi—and her work to protect the environment and champion the preservation of nature and the climate. Indira Gandhi, prime minister of India for sixteen years, was as charismatic as she was controversial—both admired and criticized for her political judgments and actions. Yet what has never been fully revealed is her lifelong commitment and love for nature and how that defined her very being. Weaving personal, political, and environmental history, politician and scholar Jairam Ramesh presents a compelling portrait of an extraordinary public figure. He chronicles how and why she made a personal passion a public calling; how her views on the environment remained steadfast even as her political and economic stances evolved; how her friendships with conservationists led to far-reaching decisions to preserve India’s biodiversity; how she urged, cajoled and persuaded her colleagues in making significant decisions regarding forests and wildlife; and how her own finely developed instincts and initiatives resulted in landmark policies, programs, and laws that have endured to this day. Drawing extensively from unpublished letters, notes, messages and memos, Indira Gandhi: A Life in Nature is both a lively, engaging narrative about the little-known parts of Indira Gandhi’s life, and also sheds important light on climate change and sustaining the environment—today’s most pressing global issues.

This book explores the obstacles facing indigenous communities, non-governmental organizations, governments, and international institutions in their attempts to protect the cultures of indigenous peoples and the world’s remaining rainforests. Indigenous peoples are essential as guardians of the world’s wild places for the maintenance of ecosystems and the prevention of climate change. The Amazonian/Andean indigenous philosophies of sumac kawsay/suma qamaña (buen vivir) were the inspiration for the incorporation of the Rights of Nature into the Ecuadorian and Bolivian constitutions of 2008 and 2009. Yet despite the creation of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (2000), and the adoption of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007), indigenous peoples have been marginalized from intergovernmental environmental negotiations. Indigenous environment protectors’ lives are in danger while the Amazon rainforests continue to burn. By the third decade of the 21st century, the dawn of “woke” capitalism was accompanied by the expansion of ethical investment, with BlackRock leading the field in the “greening” of investment management, while Big Oil sought a career change in sustainable energy production. The final chapters explain the confluence of forces that has resulted in the continued expansion of the extractive frontier into indigenous territory in the Amazon, including areas occupied by peoples living in voluntary isolation. Among these forces are legal and extracurricular payments made to individuals, within indigenous communities and in state entities, and the use of tax havens to deposit unofficial payments made to secure public contracts. Solutions to loss of biodiversity and climate change may be found as much in the transformation of global financial and tax systems in terms of transparency and accountability, as in efforts by states, intergovernmental institutions and private foundations to protect wild areas through the designation of national parks, through climate finance, and other “sustainable” investment strategies.

This book is about environmental defenders and the violence they face while seeking to protect their land and the environment. Between 2002 and 2019, at least two thousand people were killed in 57 countries for defending their lands and the environment. Recent policy initiatives and media coverage have provided much needed attention to the protection and support of defenders, but there has so far been little scholarly work. This edited volume explains who these defenders are, what threats they face, and what can be done to help support and protect them. Delving deep into the complex relations between and within communities, corporations, and government authorities, the book highlights the diversity of defenders, the collective character of their struggles, the many drivers and forms of violence they are facing, as well as the importance of emotions and gendered dimensions in protests and repression. Drawing on global case studies, it examines the violence taking place around different types of development projects, including fossil fuels, agro-industrial, renewable energy, and infrastructure. The volume also examines the violence surrounding conservation projects, including through militarized wildlife protection and surveillance technologies. The book concludes with a reflection on the perspectives of defenders about the best ways to support and protect them. It contrasts these with the lagging efforts of an international community often promoting economic growth over the lives of defenders. This volume is essential reading for all interested in understanding the challenges faced by environmental defenders and how to help and support them. It will also appeal to students, scholars and practitioners involved in environmental protection, environmental activism, human rights, social movements and development studies.
