15 Pre-publication version pre-publication what next - trendlines and alternatives 1 forum What Next Report : Trendlines and alternatives trendlines and alternatives The What Next Report By Pat Mooney ETC Group and the What Next Project Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation
16 forum Main points... Solutions may become equal or worse problems Beware of large-scale technological fix solutions
17 forum What s ahead if business as usual? New technologies... Corporate concentration... Ecological/climate crisis Increasing insecurity & inequality
18 forum On nanotechnology... 1 trillion USD market 2012 All Fortune 500 companies involved Scramble for patents and intellectual property rights Ownership, control and direction being determined now
19 Converging technologies... forum Nano/Atoms Info/Bits NBIC/BANG Biotech/ Genes Cogno/ Neurons EU: C-TEK (Converging technologies for the European Knowledge Society)
20 Converging technologies... forum Nano/Atoms Info/Bits NBIC/BANG Biotech/ Genes Synthetic biology Cogno/ Neurons EU: C-TEK (Converging technologies for the European Knowledge Society)
21 forum Synthetic biology... Design and re-design of life forms Construct genes from scratch DNA = software to be hacked Life as Lego Make cells/bacteria into chemical factories U.S. Patent Synthia Solutions to global warming...!?
22 Areas... forum
23 Techno-fixes to climate change: Geo-engineering forum A few scenarios...
24 forum Geo-engineering Technological fix approach rather than change in behaviour and social justice approach win-win : continue American lifestyle while supporting its industry Massive earth restructuring: Ocean Fertilising example of Plankos Inc. Massive earth restructuring: Ocean Fertilising example of Ocean Nourishment Corporation (ONC) in Sulu sea
25 forum Geo-engineering
26 Geo-engineering forum Massive earth restructuring: Modifying the atmosphere: Terra-forma and Atom-sphere Inc New, designed life forms to solve our energy and climate crisis... (example of Craig Venter)
27 Geo-engineering forum AP, Nov Top scientist Say Man Need to Dirty Skies to Sheild against Warming If the sun warms the Earth too dangerously, the time may come do draw the shade. The shade would be a layer of pollution deliberatley spewed into the atmosphere to help cool the planet. If they don t take action much more strongly than they have in the past, then in the end we have to do experiments like this. (Paul Crutzen)
28 Geo-engineering forum Massive earth restructuring: Modifying the atmosphere: Terra-forma and Atom-sphere Inc New, designed life forms to solve our energy and climate crisis... (example of Craig Venter)
29 Geo-engineering forum Synthia Mycoplasma genitalium => Mycoplasma laboritorium World Intellectual Patent: # For: * biofuels * CO2 sequestration * pharmaceuticals * chemicals * food stuffs *EVERYTHING 1999: Ethical Review: This proposal raises no new ethical questions
30 Techno-fixes to climate change: Geo-engineering forum A few scenarios... Human performance enhancement
31 Human perfomance enhancement forum Adaptation... Eyesight, strenght, hearing... Sleep, short-term memory, concentration Emotions, personality, removal of fear
32 Human perfomance forum enhancement Improve well people more profitable than curing the sick Increasing competition Two-tiered humanity? Redefinition of what s normal no one is normal! Design your baby (and pay for it)! Concentration: Monsanto or Wall-Mart?
33
34 Techno-fixes to climate change: Geo-engineering forum A few scenarios... Human performance enhancement New raw materials/ implications on trade
35 New materials & raw materials forum Structural change... Environmental and energy/climate potential... Rapid transformation North-based? Who will pay and suffer for the transition? What s the development potential?
36 Techno-fixes to climate change: Geo-engineering forum A few scenarios... Human performance enhancement New raw materials/ implications on trade Adaptation of agriculture
37 Adaptation of forum agriculture Second green revolution for Africa A few commercial, genetically modified crops or diversity for resilience? Top-down driven w/ commercial interests or also bottom-up w cooperation and mutual interests? Genetic diversity as important for the North!
38 Techno-fixes to climate change: Geo-engineering forum A few scenarios... New weapons and death of dissent Human performance enhancement New raw materials/ implications on trade Adaptation of agriculture
39 forum New Weapons and Death of Dissent New, powerful weapons (synthetic biology and more...!) Massively destructive individuals Surveillance and prevention only defence Government and corporate collusion Paradox I: kill democracy to save it Paradox II: we re giving away ourselves... Paradox III: the converging, new technologies creating new threats, also allow massively more efficient and pervasive surveillance
40 Techno-fixes to climate change: Geo-engineering Loosing control of computers/molecular self-assembly forum A few scenarios... New weapons and death of dissent Human performance enhancement New raw materials/ implications on trade Adaptation of agriculture
41 forum Potential... New technologies have a key role, but not quick fixes or univeral solutions For new technologies to become true solutions, precationary and democratic procedures a condition Potential for the South! Panic is our worst enemy!
42 forum Main points... Need to get it all right at once Can t afford major mistakes Require new and unconventional thinking not more of the same Can t escape tackling equity, consumption, structural change, lifestyles
43 forum The speed! A few reflections... The perils of the escape routes the solutions may become even bigger problems Need for broad, holistic, cross-sectoral capacity to monitor and evaluate Need for holistic, independent science and technology! Interplay between actors key... Need to question development at the core
44 A few forum Certain technologies may be intrinsically decentralising and democratising; others may be the opposite. reflections... The introduction of a new technology is not inevitable!
45 A few forum reflections... Any new technology introduced into a society that is not itself a just society will exacerbate the gap between rich and poor and may even harm the marginalised...
46 Key questions forum Who owns it? Who controls it? A few reflections on new technologies By whom has it been designed and for whose benefit? Who has a role in deciding its introduction? Are there alternatives? What are risks/what s at stake? Irreversibilities? Is it the best way to achieve a particular goal? Where is the liability; can the technology be recalled? Are the old technologies still available? Does the new technology promote cultural, social, environmental or democratic erosion?
47 forum What if/how next? Rights ICENT Resistance Resilience Technopedia Resilient networks
48 forum What if/how next? ICENT UN CTC monitor concentration of IP and corporate power Build grass-roots support and encourage diversity of solutions
