Question

Urgent action is clearly needed, says Lady Worthington, a noted climate activist and lead author of the team which drafted the UK’s 2008 Climate Change Act, legislation that required the UK to reduce its carbon emissions by at least 80% of their 1990 levels. At the time, Worthington was working with Friends of the Earth but was seconded to government to help design the legislation. For her efforts, she was made a peer in 2010.

Since then, Worthington has continued in the battle against the climate crisis, and in 2019 she read Harvard academic Shoshana Zuboff’s book The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, which focuses – disapprovingly – on hi-tech companies’ growing use of personal data to make money.

“It woke me up to the fact a whole new world of digital tools was being deployed to generate profits,” says Worthington. “I realised it would be better if those tools could be used to save the planet – to protect the global commons – and not merely to boost share value.”

Worthington contacted Gi Fernando, a tech entrepreneur, and the pair hatched the idea of Subak, which has since been given funding by the Quadrature Climate Foundation (QCF) that was recently set up by the London investment management company, Quadrature Capital. Its aim is to provide initial funding to help groups establish themselves but also to give expert guidance over legal, management and other issues.

Answer 1

2) Segundo a ativista, ele poderiam ser usados para salvar o planeta e proteger os bens comuns.

3) A "quadrature capital" tem como objetivo ajudar grupos a se estabilizarem mas também fornece auxílio acerca de questões legais, gerenciamento e outros.

4) Na sátira, entende-se que há uma crítica em relação a ação das empresas que se preocupam com seu próprios lucros mas esquecem que os bens comuns que são afetados pelas suas próprias ações também influenciam nas suas atividades.
