Natural resources, esp minerals, a shared inheritance. Royalty is compensation for sale of minerals, not revenue. https://teapawt.net/t.co/YnuYVJ3AiE

Minerals are a shared inheritance. It is our duty to ensure future generations inherit at least as much as we did. If we fulfill our duty, we may enjoy the fruits of our inheritance. A loss is a loss to all of us and all our future generations.

Norway isn't building national wealth, it is converting its shared inheritance of oil into other forms of wealth that earn a real return. UK consumed the family silver.

Today our Exec. Director @DrPatrickBrown attended a panel hosted by @fossiltreaty & chaired by former Irish President Mary Robinson. The discussion emphasised the need for collective action on #ClimateJustice & Ireland’s role as a global leader in addressing climate challenges 🌍
Inter-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) is an important process by which losses to foreign extractors get protections that can lead to severe issues. This short report quite eye-opening.

Discounting is super important when we consider future generations. Basically, discounting treats future generations as lesser than the present generation, violating intergenerational equity.

For the @UN #SummitoftheFuture, here's an imp paper by Dr. Edith Brown Weiss, where she revisits the Planetary Trust, the origin of the discussion on intergenerational equity in international environmental law. Our legal work is based on these ideas.

Current practices of natural resource extraction burden indigenous communities and deny future generations of their rightful share. Yet minerals are needed for development. How do we reconcile this?

Quebec's Generations Fund invests money they get from hydro, minerals, alcohol taxes, etc to help pay off Quebec's enormous govt debt. How? The Generations Fund earns a return higher than Quebec's cost of debt.

This is a common wealth heist of epic proportions.

Norway taxes oil profits 78% and companies still earn a fair return.
In contrast, Canada is on track to lose 77% of our natural resource wealth to private extraction. That's about $1 trillion lost that could've been invested in sovereign wealth funds to benefit Canadians.
