“Agenda 2030 here we come!,” the company says.

The following report is by Patrick Wood from Technocracy News & Trends:

CNBC carried a story, It’s a ‘wild west out there’: CEO says regulation needed to keep firms in line on sustainability,  suggesting that American companies need to be forcibly whipped into shape over the United Nations’ Sustainable Development goals. Sustainable Development is Technocracy, any which way you slice it.

SDG Monitor is a Finland company that claims authority because they are “citizens of the world.” Their website states,

We are proud members of Pledge 1% community and we give back by sharing our knowledge of how to grow your business sustainably. 

Thank goodness they give back by sharing their wonderful knowledge with the world.

SDG Monitor’s CEO, Tuuli-Anna Tiuttu, recently addressed CNBC’s Sustainable Future Forum, making a case that CEOs and management “needed to be ‘accountable’ when it came to the sustainability goals they’d set.” According to her, “companies need regulation and greater accountability to ensure they’re meeting goals related to sustainability.”

Yes, regulation.

Absolutely … regulation is needed, that is what I think. Because we don’t know how the companies are doing currently in their sustainability agendas.

She told CNBC’s Steve Sedgwick.

Where did SDG Monitor come from? It was founded in 2019 by three women. It claims that it “is a true creation of Covid-19 Pandemic.” The founders met at Cambridge and are apparently a virtual company; the site says “We have been working together now for over a year but have met face to face only three times.” Actually, the three met during an online course put on by Cambridge.

How does a company like SDG Monitor rise to global prominence in two years after meeting in person only three times? Where do they get their authority to basically say “Obey or we will cram it down your throat” by regulating you into compliance?

This is the modus operandi of Technocracy, pure and simple. Forget laws. Forget Rule of Law. Just do what they say and otherwise shut up.

Is this the future you want? Not me.


AUTHOR COMMENTARY

Wood did not go too in depth about this company and their product, but the company prints boldly on their website: “Agenda 2030 here we come!” If you want to know what that means then check out The WP report covering what the WEF says life will be like by 2030:

Agenda 2030: You’ll Own Nothing And Be Happy

As for their product, it is essentially some kind of social credit score of sorts. The company generates a composite score of how a company is performing and striving to meet and exceed the UN’s 17 different Sustainable Development Goals.

With all that being said – as I have covered before, a lot of these truly invasive agendas will not be fully instituted and mandated until the U.S. and many other Western nations’ economies collapse, and sends the countries into anarchy, gangland, and mass starvation; or some other major event, that will cause the people to obey what the government says to do.

[9] By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. [10] But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; [11] Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? [12] There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men. Job 35:13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

Job 35:9-13

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

    Green Investments From Sovereign Wealth Funds: The Case of Russia
    28.04.2022; Yaroslav Lissovolik

    Following up on the Valdai Club’s cooperation with Istituto Affari Internazionali as part of T20 Italy 2021, the Club’s Programme Director Yaroslav Lissovolik has contributed to IAI’s study dedicated to the role of central banks in addressing climate change.

    Financial actors could play a key role in supporting and fostering a shift towards a low-carbon economy. In this context, central banks could have a primary function in both tackling climate-related risks and the ones related to the transition and, potentially, proactively redirecting resources towards green initiatives. Central banks are indeed exploring how different types of climate-related risks and considerations could be incorporated into their activities. However, this effort is proceeding at a different speed and with a different geometry across the globe. The book aims at shedding light on how central banks and international financial institutions are currently addressing climate change worldwide, with a focus on central banks in the European Union, the United States, Asia, Africa and Latin America, and on the potential role of the International Monetary Fund, sovereign national funds and ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) standards.

    Yaroslav Lissovolik’s chapter explores whether sovereign wealth funds could help in fostering investment in greener instruments. The author focuses his analysis on the case of the Russian sovereign wealth fund, the National Wellbeing Fund, but he also investigates prospects and implications of greener sovereign funds based on the existing international experience. The author suggests that, to enable and empower this shift, worldwide sovereign wealth funds should improve their cooperation to promote green development. Multilateral organisations – such as the International Monetary Fund or the World Bank – could play an important role in coordinating and guiding the process of cooperation in sustainable financing across the sovereign wealth funds.

    7. Green investments of sovereign wealth funds: the case of Russia
    Yaroslav Lissovolik

    “In 2021, the global political agenda was significantly more focused on green development. This concerns all major centers of the world economy, including the USA and China. Russia was also part of this trend. The Ministry of Economic Development adopted a number of strategic documents regulating the energy transition in Russia, while Russian President Vladimir Putin made public Russia’s goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2060.

    This increasing importance of the green agenda led to discussions about the need to develop Russia’s “green financial instruments”, including segments such as the green ruble bond market. An important debate that arose concerned the possibility of investing Russia’s main sovereign wealth fund (SWF) – the National Wellbeing Fund (NWF) – in green instruments. In the fall of 2021, Russian Deputy Finance Minister Timur Maximov confirmed that the ministry was considering the possibility of investing part of the National Prosperity Fund in sustainable projects.

    In this chapter, the scope and possibilities arising from a possible investment of the NWF’s resources in “green instruments” are to be examined.”

    Message of the CEO Andrey Sharonov
    Dear friends!
    Sustainable development topic during the last years has been on the front of the global business and political agenda. Compliance with ESG requirements has become the key factor of preserving a competitive national economy and priority target for the business and country. Russia reached serious progress on this matter striving not to be left on the edge of the world’s civilization.

    Today we have reached a new geopolitical reality where companies were forced to concentrate their efforts mainly on preserving business, supply chains, supporting employees and local communities. In the competition to gain attention ESG agenda can temporarily be left in the background. At the same time whatever happens in the international relations of Russia and the West we should not let our approaches towards sustainability and according practices degradate.[…]we believe in the long term value creating and the inevitability of the harmonic business development idea, we recognise it as a paradigm of a principally different quality of life, basis for technological progress and fundament of harmonic business development with consideration of present and future generations expectations[…]Alliance is an open organisation. We see ourselves as a national informational ESG platform, propagandist of sustainable development ideas, active participant of the national and international initiatives process creation. We are ready for collaboration with companies, public and industrial bodies, governmental and international organisations. Together we can do more.

    The Government has approved an innovative project to create a national monitoring system for climatically active substances

    […]The national monitoring system will provide independent climate forecasts and information on the causes of climate change. Scientifically based data and environmental monitoring will become the basis for making management decisions in the field of limiting greenhouse gas emissions and adapting the Russian economy to global climate change. This will increase the effectiveness of the measures taken by the state in the field of climate policy.

    Dozens of scientific institutions across the country will take part in carrying out the necessary research and development. With their help, a physical and mathematical model of the Earth will be created, various climatic processes will be monitored, scenarios for decarbonization of economic sectors will be developed.

    The innovative project will be implemented in two stages. The first one will last until the end of 2024. By this date, the scientific, legal and personnel conditions for the functioning of the new system will be prepared. A methodological basis will also be formed for the ecological transformation of economic sectors. As part of the second stage, the formation of these conditions will be completed, and the system will begin to function in full. The Ministry of Economic Development will be responsible for the implementation of the project together with the federal authorities responsible for this or that event. …
