Corporates owning the rights to the air we breathe? Natural Asset Companies explored

Michael Swifte, long term environmentalist, unpacking Rockefeller and the Inter-American Development Bank’s partnership, the Intrinsic Exchange Group. They’re creating a new market in Natural Asset Companies (NAC) for Ecosystem Services to be traded on the stock exchange. On Wednesday, October 4, 2023, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed notice of a proposed rule to create Natural Asset Companies (NACs).
We discuss the “Indigenous Estate” and how we see this may intersect with the NAC’s, as well as the enormous implications for our Federal and State forests and Local Council land, farmland and tracts of nature. We explore the implications of the wealthiest owning the rights to management of public and Indigenous land, and the benefits nature brings.
Correction: at 45:00 minutes in I state that George Church was referencing artificial wombs for extinct species in the Bayer Youtube Leap Talks, instead he was referencing artificial wombs for endangered species.
