       What is social life like in the Metaverse

       The "Decarbonization Consensus" is based on a widely accepted
       common goal. In the end, in a world wounded by collapse, who
       could oppose decarbonization and climate neutrality? The main
       problem is not the what , but the how.. Decarbonization is
       welcome, but not this way. Among the purposes of this hegemonic
       decarbonization are not the deconcentration of the energy
       system, the care of nature, much less global climate justice,
       but other types of motivations such as attracting new financial
       incentives, reducing the dependency of some countries in search
       of energy security, the expansion of market niches or the
       improvement of the image of companies. In other words, if the
       dominant actors adopt this agenda, it is because they understand
       it as a new window of opportunity for geopolitical repositioning
       and for capitalist accumulation, more specifically,
       "accumulation by defossilization."6that deepens the
       capital/nature contradiction.
       In this new consensus, decarbonization is not seen as part of a

       process of changing the
       metabolic profile of society (in patterns of production,
       consumption, circulation of goods, and waste generation), but
       rather as an end in itself. . Although the seriousness of the
       climate emergency is recognized, policies are not only
       insufficient, but also with very serious impacts, given that the
       exploitation of natural resources is intensified and the
       ideology of indefinite economic growth is maintained. With
       another twist to the rhetoric of “sustainability”, therefore, a
       new phase of environmental dispossession of the global South
       opens, which affects the lives of millions of human beings and
       non-human sentient beings; it further compromises biodiversity
       and destroys strategic ecosystems.

       The "Decarbonization Consensus" continually mobilizes the
       discourse of technological potential and innovation. At the same
       time, it explicitly advocates for "green business", "climate
       finance", "nature-based solutions", "climate-smart mining",
       "carbon markets" and various forms of speculative investment.
       Almost seamlessly, the "social responsibility" policies of
       extractive companies have become "socio-environmental
       responsibility" policies in recent decades, in an attempt to
       build an image of ecological responsibility that is in stark
       contrast to reality. In short, a type of transition is proposed
       based on a fundamentally mercantile logic and with a
       hyper-digitized interface.
