  1. Read: The Wall Street Consensus at COP26. The central bankers’ rhetoric on Finance Day at COP26 was closely aligned to the preferences of financial capital. It represents a win-win attitude to attacking the climate crisis—one that does not feature a robust role for public investment, nor a commitment to swift decarbonization.  [via Daniela Gabor in Phenomenal World]

  2. Read: Over 25,000 tons of COVID-19 plastic waste is now in the ocean. More than 8 million tons of single-use plastics were generated due to the pandemic, and a hefty portion is threatening the lives of marine animals. [via CNET]

  3. Listen: The Simple Economics of Saving the Amazon Rainforest [via People I Mostly Admire]

  4. Watch: Possibly the most important person of the 20th century whom you have never heard of [via Today I Found Out]
