"He also wants individual institutions that benefited from the slave trade to be held accountable and pay compensation. Among these is the Church of England.

In the 18th Century, the Church's missionary wing ran plantations and owned hundreds of slaves, which helped fund its work across the Americas and beyond."

Gold, which is driving the deforestation, faces no equivalent check.
So a man can do everything right for five years — plant, shade, weed, wait, refuse the mining money — and get paid less this year than last, while the pit at his fence line pays cash on Tuesday. That isn't a market failure. Somebody signed.
Ghana, Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire and Cameroon just signed the Abuja Declaration to stop exporting raw beans and bargain as one bloc. First thing in this mess with teeth in it. #Ghana #Cocoa
