This past week saw G20\u2019s annual meeting taking place in Bali, with the leaders of the world\u2019s 20 largest economies signing a pledge that commits to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, while everyone was so nicely distracted by the \u201cfall of Kherson\u201d and that missile that allegedly hit Poland,<\/a> leaders from around the world were gathering in matching shirts and publishing their plans for world government in glossy little ring binders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ve already seen the COP27 <\/a>focus on \u201calternative farming\u201d (ie. lab-grown meat and eating insects), but the G20 leader\u2019s declaration is much more ambitious. And we still have the UN Biodiversity Summit<\/a> to look forward to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, the creepy global gathering season is really hitting its stride, and the participants are making no secret of their global plans moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can read the whole thing here<\/a>, we\u2019ll just be pulling out a few key quotes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For starters let\u2019s take a look at the \u201ctheme\u201d of this year\u2019s summit, which has a very familiar ring to it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recover together, recover stronger\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Call me crazy, but that sounds like just another way of saying \u201cbuild back better\u201d<\/a><\/em>, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n You might expect any declaration made under the \u201cbuild back better\u201d banner to be filled with Great Reset talking points\u2026and you\u2019d be absolutely correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s a re-dedication to the ongoing war on food, and an echoing of the COP27 focus on \u201cinnovation\u201d and \u201creform\u201d in agriculture [emphasis added throughout]:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We will take further coordinated actions to address food security challenges including price surges and shortage of food commodities and fertilizers globally [\u2026] ensure that food systems better contribute to adaptation and mitigation to climate change<\/strong>, and halting and reversing biodiversity loss, diversify food sources<\/strong> [\u2026] We are committed to supporting the adoption of innovative practices and technologies<\/strong>, including digital innovation in agriculture and food systems to enhance productivity and sustainability<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n To be clear, \u201cmitigating climate change\u201d means \u201cfarming less meat\u201d; \u201cdiversifying food sources\u201d means \u201ceating bugs\u201d; and \u201cinnovative practices and technologies\u201d means lab-grown meat and\/or yeast paste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s a LOT of material on \u201creversing\u201d or \u201cmitigating\u201d climate change, including overly verbose pledges to \u201creform\u201d energy supplies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We reiterate our commitment to achieve global net zero greenhouse gas emissions\/carbon neutrality [\u2026] scaling up the deployment of clean power generation, including renewable energy, as well as energy efficiency measures, including accelerating efforts towards the phasedown of unabated coal power<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n You don\u2019t need me to translate that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And after that comes the \u201cpandemic preparedness\u201d spiel, calling for a \u201clegally binding instrument\u201d to \u201cstrengthen\u201d global pandemic preparedness:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We reaffirm our commitment to strengthen global health governance, with the leading and coordination role of WHO and support from other international organizations. We support the work of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB) that will draft and negotiate a legally binding instrument<\/strong> that should contain both legally binding and non-legally binding elements to strengthen pandemic [preparedness]<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n That has been on the agenda for a while, you can read our previous pieces on it here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next there\u2019s the promise to control the internet more strictly, for the sake of \u201csecurity\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We acknowledge that affordable and high-quality digital connectivity is essential for digital inclusion and digital transformation, while a resilient, safe and secure online environment<\/strong> is necessary to enhance confidence and trust in the digital economy [\u2026] We acknowledge the importance to counter disinformation campaigns, cyber threats, online abuse, and ensuring security<\/strong> in connectivity infrastructure<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
