When "Green" Doesn’t "Grow":
Facing Up to the Failures of Profit-Driven Climate Policy
Sean Sweeney and John Treat
The onslaught of extreme weather and the increasingly stark scientific assessment leave no doubt that we face an ecological and civilizational emergency. But in the year since the 23rd annual Conference of the Parties (COP23) in Bonn, Germany, a constant stream of headlines and reports have confirmed that governments are not on track to meet their climate commitments.
The market-focused approach to climate protection has failed spectacularly. Using "sticks and carrots" policies aimed at the private sector, governments anticipated a surge of new "green growth" investment that would create millions of good jobs. This did not happen. It is now absolutely clear that climate policy must...

A,
I’m just checking in to see if you’re able to make a donation to help close our budget shortfall of CA$272,275 before this year ends.
We have so much work to do to protect the things that matter to us next year. So I wanted to take one last chance in 2018 to ask you to help out.
You can make your year end contribution here.
If you can chip in a little now, it will go a long way to support people all over the globe to stand up to corporations and win the battles that matter to us all.

A,
From all of us at SumOfUs, thank you! 2018 was the year that you helped expose dirty palm oil, and profiteering companies like Pepsi & Nestlé.
Just imagine what more we can achieve together in 2019, to protect palm oil workers, our rainforests, and the precious orangutans that call it home.
A, thanks for all you've done. Click for a special holiday message just for you...
In 2018, your actions with SumOfUs helped get Nestlé to cut ties with conflict palm oil company Indofood and won industry sanctions against Indofood too!
Then, over 150,000 people helped expose human trafficking on Procter & Gamble’s business partner Felda’s plantations...

The Economic and Social Plan of the Bolsonaro Government
Joao Marcio and João Pedro Stédile
"Reformed" captain Jair Bolsonaro already committed to the "market" the handover of all decisions in the economic area to large capital, under the hegemony of financial capital and foreign corporations (as personified in Paulo Guedes and his Chicago Boys, including Levy in the Brazilian Development Bank-BNDES). As per the President's statements, his will be a government directly headed by businessmen committed to the reduction of the "Brazil cost," that is, to the increase of private profit. A government with such profile would not only give continuity but also radicalize Michel Temer's agenda with the aim of implementing the following measures:
1. A brutal reduction in compensation costs for the...

Interview with Adam Hanieh
Jadaliyya (J): What made you write this book?
Adam Hanieh (AH): I have long felt that the nature of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states is poorly understood in mainstream media commentary and in much of the political debate around the Middle East, often reduced simply to the Gulf’s oil and gas exports, ruling family intrigues, or the role of religion. In the aftermath of the Arab uprisings, it has become patently clear how important these states are to the Middle East’s future trajectories, but a lot of discussion around this focuses on the most overt manifestations of the Gulf’s power projection in the region -- the Gulf’s role in various wars and conflicts, for example, or...
