« Solutions fondées sur la nature » le trompe-l’œil des entreprises

The fact sheet criticizes the adoption of "nature-based solutions" by over 1,500 companies, asserting that these strategies allow firms to maintain polluting business models while claiming "net zero" targets. It highlights Shell and Nestlé as examples of companies using carbon offsets to mask continued emissions and environmental damage. The document advocates for "real zero emissions" through the cessation of fossil fuel extraction and the support of agroecology and community-led forest management led by indigenous peoples and local communities.

• Over 1,500 companies have committed to "net zero emissions," yet many continue to use "nature-based solutions" without promising to stop burning fossil fuels or change their underlying economic models.
• Shell's strategy to align with a 1.5 degree warming limit relies heavily on intensifying nature-based solutions, which would require planting trees across an area nearly the size of Brazil to offset an estimated 120 million tonnes of CO2 annually by 2030.
• Nestlé uses a "Net Zero Roadmap" to obscure emissions from a projected 68% increase in animal-based and primary product sourcing between 2020 and 2030; achieving its 2050 goal would require offsetting 13 million tonnes of greenhouse gases annually, necessitating tree planting on at least 4.4 million hectares per year.
• The document asserts that nature-based solutions are designed to benefit industrial agricultural and food companies and high-polluting nations by commodifying CO2 and nature's services rather than implementing genuine climate action.
• Genuine climate solutions are identified as those based on ecological and autonomous governance by indigenous peoples, peasants, fishers, and herders, specifically through agroecology and community forest management.
