Ecological imperialism

  • Stakeholder capitalism
  • Green colonialism

Nature

The ‘green’ agenda based on a ‘stakeholder capitalism’ strategy (governments and others facilitating the needs of private capital) has co-opted genuine concerns about the environment to pursue new multi-billion-dollar global investment opportunities.

 

Claim

If you read 2020 report Nature for Sale, by Friends of the Earth, you might conclude that we are witnessing a type of green imperialism that is using genuine concerns about the
environment to pursue a familiar agenda of extractivism, colonisation and commodification – the same old mindset, greenwashed and rolled out for public consumption. For some, things seem set to remain the same – business as usual.
