The Grain to Green project was one of China’s most ambitious environmental endeavours – launched in 1999 to reverse the damage from grazing and farming across the Loess plateau. Offering cash and tax benefits to offset farming losses and widespread tree-planting employment programmes, by 2016 almost 30,000 km² of cropland had been restored to forest or grassland.

Ah - perhaps you're not in touch with many activists in this area - but if you're looking at the literature, for example on degrowth, it is fundamentally predicated on massive state intervention. In their survey of degrowth literature from 2005 to 2020, for example, Fitzpatrick et al[ found the 5 most frequently proposed policies were:
universal basic incomes,
work-time reductions,
job guarantees with a living wage,
maximum income caps,
declining caps on resource use and emissions.
Or if you look at Green Party policies across Europe, they are massively interventionist - for example they generally favour nationalisation, especially of utilities, transport, energy, education, health and social care, etc - and of course, gegrowth is not logically possible without nationalising banking and finance - though few highlight this.
But this is all very obvious - what timely alternative is there to state intervention to effect a green transition ?
@GeofCox @KimSJ Yeah, and how is state intervention incompatible with democracy as such?
The problem you are referring to seems to outsized influence of the wealthy, and for that democracies a couple of decades knew a solution too, ownership concentration caps for media and similar. Problem solved.
Now it's obvious that the wealthy will not allow themselves to be harnessed without protest, but there is trusted European solution for that too, a so called low neck shave, 1/3
the French even invented a machine to automate and speed up that shave.
My problem is actually, that our Western societies are actually so aged, that voter majorities (e.g. in Germany/Austria I checked) are currently all 50+ -> you don't sell to these electorates policies of invest 2-3% of capital today in a policy that will make your country much more competitive, say 20-30% in 2-3 decades.
And that's what practically all anti-climate change measures are: 2/3
- invest today
- so you profit immensely down the road
Formulated differently, not doing something has been prognosed to be multitudes more expensive in the long run, than correcting the behaviour now.
But how do you sell the majority of the voters such actions, of which they will only see the "negative side of the ledger", but not reap the "positive side of the investment"?
That's an even bigger issue than the wealthy that dislike democracy.
3/3
@KimSJ 🤷The numbers for AT/DE I mentioned was not actually active voters.
That were rather exact numbers of citizens available, by the relevant national statistic office. (I'd assume they'd get these number in AT/DE rather precisely, as we do have a mandatory registration of domicile, and at least in AT it's actually centralised for the whole country. And the registration includes the nationality.)
So even if the youth would vote 100%, it would also take the retirees not voting. 1/2
@peterbrown @GeofCox @KimSJ Yes.
But then again you are in the irritating problem with "long term investment", "(near) retiree voter majority".
So you want to stop fossil subsidies. So what does the fossil industry? Raise prices. Your voters suddenly find themselves in a situation where: 1/2

in reply to Degrowth or Extinction • • •The image features a whimsical illustration of a small, pink, furry creature with large, translucent wings and long ears, resembling a fairy or a bunny, clinging to a stem of a purple flower. The creature has a cute, expressive face with large eyes and a small mouth, and it is surrounded by vibrant purple flowers with intricate petal details. The background is a soft gradient of pink and purple, with sparkles and bubbles adding a magical touch. The text in the image reads, "You matter all of the time, not only when you are at your best." The text is written in a playful, handwritten style, with the phrase "The Latest Kate" in the bottom left corner. The overall composition is colorful and cheerful, with a focus on the creature and the flowers, creating a sense of wonder and positivity.
