In a statement released this 2 November, 257 organisations, networks and movements from 61 countries say NO to “Nature-Based Solutions”, a concept that governments and corporations are peddling at the UN Climate Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland.The statement warns that behind the “Nature-Based Solutions” marketing front, “nature-based dispossessions” and harmful practices such as monoculture tree plantations and industrial agriculture lurk.#NOtoNBSGroups call on movements and organizations committed to climate, environmental and social justice to sign statement unequivocally rejecting “Nature-Based Solutions” and all offset schemes.Such schemes are not designed to address the climate crisis. Their primary function is to buy another decade or two of unrestrained corporate profiteering from fossil carbon extraction and industrial agriculture while increasing outside control over community territories. Time has run out for such distractions. Only a rapid, time-bound plan to leaving the remaining coal, oil and gas reserves in the ground and industrial agriculture overhauled will avert catastrophic climate chaos.Reject Nature-Based Solutions as a new form of corporate land grabbing and greenwashing!Say NO to nature-based dispossessions!The statement remains open for organisational signatures until the end of 2021 Sign the statement here: https://bit.ly/39GNZtr Initial signatoriesAlliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA)Alianza BiodiversidadAsian Pacific Movement on Debt and DevelopmentETC groupFocus on the Global SouthGlobal Grassroots Justice Alliance (GGJ)GRAINFriends of the Earth International (FoEI)Indigenous Climate Action (ICA)Indigenous Environmental Network (IEN)World March of Women (WMW)World Rainforest Movement (WRM)Movements, regional and international organisationsActionAid InternationalFIAN InternationalGender ActionGlobal Forest CoalitionInstitute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP)La Via CampesinaWoMin African AllianceNGO Forum on ADBNo REDD in Africa NetworkOilwatch Latin AmericaPlataforma Latinoamericana y del Caribe deJusticia ClimáticaSociety for International Development (SID)Stay GroundedThird World NetworkNational organisationsAsociación de Parques Nacionales, ArgentinaFundación "Dr. Ramón Carrillo" Chaco, ArgentinaFundación Vertientes de Saldan, ArgentinaMovimiento Nacional de Salud LAICRIMPO, ArgentinaObservatorio del Agua -
