It’s so obvious what they’re doing.

what's also significant - beyond its integration with finance and central banks - is that it proposes indicator governance, in essence.

it's a perfect illustration of 'Imperialism as Efficiency'

but i don't know if i can be bothered, because it doesn't really add anything new.

in fact, there's an entire annex in this regard. it's obviously exactly what they do.

associate these indicators with performance of grants and loans. result-based management with KPIs associated with GEF-arranged blended finance projects.

and it's all framed as 'planetary stewardship' - an 'ethical' imperative.

ethics, systems theory, and it even links to central banks.

thanks, IUCN.

ah, we have a dash of anticipatory governance in there as well.

that IUCN document is the embodiment of the Convention on BioDiv's Ecosystem Approach.

... of course, i didn't know at the time of writing, but the structure of the governance model can also be called 'subsidiarity'...

hard to ignore when there's such a perfect example showing off all that i documented

apart from UNFAO which i’ve only discussed lightly i think i’ve covered the lot now, but find it hard to step away. it’s been 2 years and 8 months of really rather intense effort (counting from the jikkyleaks tweet on heidi larson, which gave me the first proper node to ‘hold on to’), all consuming at times, frustrating at others. in fact, there’s been a lot of the latter.

wasn’t expecting that IUCN report to be as perfect as the case was, but thankful that i found it.

i did start an essay on epstein a while back but deleted it because it began to smell a tad like ‘gain of function’ to me - intended to waste time, regardless of who did what.

The global governance crooks play chess the way Karpov did in his heyday - building a position slowly, slowly, slowly until you find yourself suffocated.

What we need is an Ivanchuk on a good day.

If you’re into chess I recommend agadmator on YouTube.

forget if i've already covered this one.

i bet you didn't realise the biosphere is part of the central banks' mandates, eh?

holy moly... i do believe i called this.

Nature Value at Risk (NVaR). that's their term. not completely the same, but there's been a wealth of reports published on this since 2021 which have progressively developed the concept.

a few more papers and my 'inverse leontief' trick should more or less be there.

no need for a lengthy breakdown.

i never did a write-up on CIEL, but there’s a lot of detail especially during their early days that deserve to be more well-known.

but i don’t have the time, and have to skip some material.

… one question, however…

did CIEL front-run all the later initiatives of BIS/NGFS?

FATF similarly launched in that year, ftr.

not really a coincidence that Elisabeth Mann Borgese etc began writing a World Federalism Charter immediately after the United Nations had come to be.

what these essentially recommend is the same Leonard S Woolf inspired functionalism, here the real power resides with the ‘technical committees’ (which commonly include Chatham House associates)

the technical committe drafts the 20-year strategy
the secretariat administrates the plan
the general assembly votes on implementation.

the issue being that though the GA is typically democratically elected, by the time the strategy comes to fruition, the original politicians are long gone

it’s temporal arbitrage
