Market Myopia
Our friend and colleague, Rudolph Ryser, writes from the UN Climate Change Conference in Poznan, Poland. As part of an indigenous observer delegation from North America, Dr. Ryser notes that the conference officials have made a false assumption to begin with--that market incentives can fix what the market created. Instead, he argues, leadership on adapting to climate change can only come from the world's indigenous nations, who still hold inherent title to the forests and oceans currently being destroyed by market myopia.
