Any Excuse Will Do for UN: Digital ID to Combat Climate Change, By James Reed

Joining with the EU and World economic forum, the UN is continuing its push to create a New World Order, and a dystopia based around censorship and digital identity, which will be key in social control. Now its ploy is to say that the position of digital identity is necessary for addressing the climate change crisis, or supposed crisis, through the monitoring and control of energy consumption and the goals of sustainable development in accordance with Agenda 2030. The UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) under Agenda 2030, aims to provide legal identity for all individuals, including birth registration, by 2030.

The objection by critics, including us here, is that this is a recipe for tyranny, given the UN's track record, with widespread surveillance and restraints upon liberty and freedom.

Above all else, using the climate change crisis to do this is objectionable in another way, as there is significant debate about whether there is such a crisis in the first place, so we must be highly suspicious of the UN strategy from the beginning.

"In a recent move to address the global climate crisis, the United Nations (UN) is advocating for the widespread adoption of digital identity systems.

The UN's Development Program (UNDP) claims that these systems are crucial for monitoring energy consumption and promoting sustainable practices among citizens. However, this initiative has raised concerns among privacy advocates who fear potential government overreach.

The push for digital IDs is part of the UN's broader Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) under Agenda 2030, which seeks to provide legal identity for all individuals, including birth registration, by 2030. The UNDP argues that digital identities would allow governments to track populations during environmental emergencies and implement targeted responses to mitigate crises effectively.

According to a recent article by the UNDP titled "Why legal identity is crucial to tackling the climate crisis," digital IDs would enable governments to collect data on citizens' energy consumption. This information would then inspire "behavior change" and enhance sustainability measures. The organization claims that such actions can mitigate climate-related disasters.

The UNDP's argument is not without precedent. In May 2023, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres supported digital IDs linked to financial systems, stating that they can improve the delivery of social protection coverage and help reach eligible beneficiaries more efficiently.

The UNDP's push for digital IDs is part of a larger global initiative to combat so-called "climate change." The organization argues that understanding citizens' energy usage is critical in addressing climate-related challenges. By leveraging data collected via digital IDs, governments can implement policies to reduce carbon footprints and promote sustainable living.

However, this initiative has its roots in the UN's broader goal of providing legal identity for all individuals by 2030. This includes birth registration and other forms of identification that link individuals to various government services. For example, in Ghana, the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations (GAVI) has been piloting a program that registers biometric data of newborns, including fingerprints and caregiver voice data, which are then linked to government services like vaccination tracking.

Privacy concerns and potential risks

While the UNDP argues that digital IDs are essential for climate action, critics have raised concerns about potential government overreach and the risks to individual privacy. Opponents argue that such systems could enable intrusive monitoring and be used to enforce punitive measures, such as withholding access to financial resources for failing to comply with carbon tax regulations.

Privacy advocates warn that digital IDs could lead to widespread surveillance and diminish personal freedoms. The precedent of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown enforcement and vaccine passports has raised concerns about the potential for these systems to be misused.

The debate over digital IDs highlights the tension between the need for effective climate action and the preservation of individual privacy. As governments weigh the benefits of digital IDs against the risks, the future of this initiative remains uncertain.

The UN's push for digital IDs as a tool to combat climate change reflects the organization's commitment to addressing global environmental challenges. However, it also raises important questions about the balance between public good and individual privacy. As governments consider implementing these systems, it is crucial to address the concerns of privacy advocates and ensure that any measures taken are in line with democratic principles and respect for individual freedoms.
