(Natural News)—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. (Related: United Nations renews push for globalized digital marking system to deal with ’emergencies.’)
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.

You won’t be able to go to school, get a job or open a bank account without your UN-mandated digital identity chip either. In essence, you will become a complete and utter outcast from society.
I have been astounded by what I have discovered. Leo Hohmann and a few others have been writing about this, but the general population has no idea what the global elite have planned. All the way back in September 2018, the United Nations established the “UN Legal Identity Agenda Task Force”…
Inspired by the Secretary-General’s determination to tackle the global problem of statelessness (affecting more than 10 million people worldwide), but also noting the wider (and larger) issue of lack of legal identity, the Secretary-General’s Executive Committee, in January 2018, mandated the Deputy Secretary-General to convene “UN entities to develop, in collaboration with the World Bank Group, a common approach to the broader issue of registration and legal identity…”. To operationalize the decision of the Executive Committee, an inter-agency coordination mechanism — the UN Legal Identity Agenda Task Force (UNLIA TF) — was established from September 2018, where 13 UN agencies, under the chairmanship of UNDP, UNICEF and the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, are working together to try to assist Member States achieve SDG target 16.9.
One of the responsibilities of this task force is to “oversee the implementation of the UN LIA at the regional and national level”. The following comes from the official UN website…
- To oversee the implementation of the UN LIA at the regional and national level;
- To develop and maintain normative work related to the UN LIA (with UNDESA leading as normative focal point);
- To fully engage in fund raising, advocacy and communication of the UN LIA;
- To convoke UN system-wide meetings to advance the implementation of the UN LIA;
- To brief the DSG and other senior UN principals as required (including the Strategic Results Group on SDG Implementation) on latest developments in the implementation of the UN LIA;
- To support the UNDP Administrator in his role as member of the WBG ID4D programme’s High-Level Advisory Council.
The United Nations Development Program is on the ground in 170 different countries and territories, and they have become one of the key UN agencies that is working to advance this agenda.
On the UNDP website, they have an entire page that discusses what they intend to do. They argue that “embracing digitalization” will help to close the “global identity gap”…
Legal identity serves as a fundamental gateway to accessing both public and private services. However, a staggering 850 million people worldwide lack the means to establish their identity. Embracing digitalization offers a pathway to bridging this global identity gap, with digital legal identity serving as a cornerstone of digital public infrastructure, fostering interoperability among diverse systems.
Whenever they want to sell us on some horrible new thing that they want to do, they make it sound like it is something that is necessary to help the poor and needy.
The UNDP has listed five “compelling reasons” why digital identification must be imposed on the entire planet. The first reason they give is that digital identification will allow them to track all of us…
Digital legal identities offer a unique means of tracking population movements, facilitating swift access to essential information for each human being.
I’m sorry, but I don’t want the UN to ever track my movements.
I am sure that you feel the same way.
The second reason they give is that it will allow governments to register people more quickly during major disasters…
Several countries are adopting digital IDs to register disaster impacts, aiding in the comprehensive understanding of these events. With support from UNDP, countries are establishing tracking systems to collect data from various agencies, including environment, health, public works, transport, agriculture, statistics, and others at national, provincial, and sub-national levels.
So what would happen during a long-term global emergency such as a pandemic?
Would everyone be required to register for “assistance” with their national governments?
The third reason they give is that digital identification is necessary for “identifying vulnerable populations and critical infrastructure”…
Digital IDs aid in identifying vulnerable populations and critical infrastructure, thereby bolstering resilience and guaranteeing a dependable energy supply during adverse events like extreme weather, seismic activity, wildfires, or power grid failures. Utility providers and emergency services can utilize this personal data during disasters to precisely locate individuals in need of special assistance, including those reliant on medical equipment powered by electricity or facing mobility challenges. Targeted support ensures that the most vulnerable members of the community receive prompt assistance and access to necessary energy resources.
In other words, when things go wrong, digital identification will make it easier for governments to “help” us.
We just have to give away all of our privacy first.
The fourth reason they give is that digital identification will help fight “climate change” because it will allow governments to “track energy consumption” and “inspire behaviour change”…
Leveraging digital legal ID data to track energy consumption, inspire behaviour change, and enhance sustainability measures can mitigate climate-related disasters.
In other words, they want to monitor how much energy you are using.
If you use too much, lowering your “social credit score” will “inspire” you to use less energy.
The fifth reason they give is that digital identification that is tied “directly to digital wallets” will allow authorities to encourage people to fight “climate change”…
By offering rewards or subsidies directly to digital wallets, individuals are encouraged to invest in renewable energy, leading to broader adoption and increased participation in sustainable energy initiatives.
Ultimately, linking your financial life to your digital identification is such an important part of their program.
They will know what you buy, what you sell, and everything else that you are doing online.
In fact, eventually they want to make it impossible to conduct any commerce on the Internet at all unless you have digital identification.
They argue that forcing everyone to reveal who they really are will make the Internet “safer” for everyone.
But of course the potential for tyranny would be off the charts.
Once you have the ability to track the behavior of everyone on the planet and you also have the ability to exclude people that are unwilling to submit to your demands from the system, you would be able to exercise a level of control over the globe that is unprecedented in the entire history of humanity.

]]>A BlackRock spokesperson confirmed to The Epoch Times that the company has decided to withdraw from the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative (NZAM), a coalition comprised of over 325 signatories managing more than $57.5 trillion, all committed to the goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 by aligning investment strategies with this objective.
Membership in the climate pact did not affect the way BlackRock managed client portfolios, according to the spokesperson, but it did lead to confusion about the company’s practices and subjected it to legal inquiries from public officials. Despite the NZAM exit, BlackRock remains committed to sustainable investing.
Several major Wall Street banks have recently exited a similar climate-focused organization for lenders called the Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA), which similarly pushes a net-zero goal.
Republicans, particularly from energy-producing states, have criticized the participation of banks and asset managers in net-zero coalitions as part of a progressive agenda and have accused them of antitrust violations.
In November, Texas and 10 other Republican-led states sued BlackRock and rivals, alleging that they disrupted coal production and raised energy prices.
“Texas will not tolerate the illegal weaponization of the financial industry in service of a destructive, politicized ‘environmental’ agenda. BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street formed a cartel to rig the coal market, artificially reduce the energy supply, and raise prices,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement. “This is a stunning violation of State and federal law.”
BlackRock has rejected the allegations, stating that the lawsuit undermines investments in essential companies that consumers depend on.
In a 2024 letter to shareholders, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said that the company has “never supported divesting from traditional energy firms” and that it has over $300 billion invested in traditional energy firms on behalf of its clients.
“If they want to invest in hydrocarbons, we give them every opportunity to do it–the same way we invest roughly $138 billion in energy transition strategies for our clients,” Fink wrote. “That’s part of being an asset manager. We follow our clients’ mandates.”
In December, a Republican-controlled congressional committee requested information from BlackRock and dozens of other asset managers regarding their involvement with NZAM.
“The over 60 asset managers with membership in NZAM must answer for their involvement in prioritizing woke investments over their own fiduciary duties,” the House Judiciary Committee said in a statement, while letters sent to various asset managers demanded the preservation of records that may be associated with “NZAM’s collusive activity that would inform potential legislative reforms.”
After a number of financial institutions left the climate pact for lenders, the Texas attorney general praised them for the exit in a Jan. 7 statement. Paxton alleged that the climate pact aims to undermine the vital oil and gas industries and that membership in the alliance could potentially bar banks from entering into contracts with Texas government entities.
]]>According to Reuters, an anonymous senior Asian diplomat told the news outlet there has been some “trepidation” within the 193-member international organization, founded in 1945 in the wake of World War II.
“There is also some hope that a transactional administration will engage the U.N. on some areas even if it were to defund some dossiers. After all, what bigger and better global stage is there than the United Nations?” the anonymous source told Reuters.
The report goes on to note an absence of the U.S. from the U.N. could pave the way for China to have even more influence in global politics. Another top concern is funding may be dramatically cut once Trump takes office again.
In 2018, during Trump’s first term, his administration choked off over $25 million in funding to the U.N, including more than $7 million to cover costs for the U.N. Human Right Council.
U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres said in a statement Wednesday he was ready to work with the incoming administration, and congratulated Trump on his win, according to Barron’s.
“Cooperation between the United States and the United Nations is an essential pillar of international relations. … The United Nations stands ready to work constructively with the incoming administration to address the dramatic challenges our world is facing,” Guterres said.
According to Fox News, American taxpayers pay at least one-third of the U.N.’s yearly budget, increasing under President Joe Biden from $11.6 billion in 2020, to $18.1 billion in 2022. The U.S. pays three times as much as Germany, who pays around $6.8 billion a year, while Japan contributes $2.7 billion.
Hugh Dugan, a member of the U.S. delegation to the U.N., told Fox News the U.N. will have to undergo a recalibration, because they haven’t had to be as concerned about accountability during the Biden administration years. Adding to the U.N.’s worries is Trump’s veto power over its next secretary general candidate, with the election being held in 2026.
“They will have to recalibrate now very much again in the Trump administration that will, I believe, be much more attentive, engaged and monitoring of the U.N. … There are teams there that have been sleepwalking the last few years without U.S. pressure on accountability, efficiency and effectiveness,” Dugan said.
Further to that, other Globalist organizations and figureheads, like World Economic Forum’s Yuval Harari, have voiced concerns over a Trump victory. Harari said during an interview with the Global Economic Forum a day before the 2024 presidential election, that a win for Trump would be a “death blow” to the new global order.
“If it happens, it is likely to be the kind of… death blow, to what remains of the global order,” Harari said, adding Trump has often openly said he wants nationalism over globalism.
“Many of these politicians; they present a false dichotomy, a false binary vision of the world, as if you have to choose between patriotism and globalism, between being loyal to your nation, and being loyal to some kind of, I don’t know, global government.”
“If Trump becomes President again in 2024 … it will be the final death blow…to what remains of the global order.” – Yuval Harari
It sounds like the global order is afraid of what Trump is capable of. The question is, why?

According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, allied capitals are concerned after Trump made it clear he would not be providing any protection to any delinquent members of NATO.
Because European members have done little to expand their own defense, they are highly dependent on American taxpayer dollars for protection. Bruno Tertrais, deputy director of the Foundation for Strategic Research, a think tank for the French government, told WSJ NATO could end up paralyzed without Trump.
“If this is not the jolt that Europe needed to get its act together, I don’t know what could be one. Absent U.S. leadership, NATO could be paralyzed,” Tertrais said.

]]>The report by UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women Reem Alsalem urged countries and sporting organizations to prohibit “men who identify as women” to compete in sports events for biological females. She wrote that allowing these transgender women in such competitions leads to biological women and girls experiencing “extreme psychological distress” due to physical imbalance with rivals, loss of fair competition and educational and economic opportunities, and violations of privacy.
Alsalem also noted the damage caused by allowing gender-confused males to compete with females have caused in the field of women’s sports in recent years. More than 600 female athletes have lost around 890 medals in more than 400 competitions, in 29 different sports, as a result.
“Giving men so-called hormone blockers so they can compete with women, as some sports leagues do, doesn’t work,” she remarked. Such medications do not reduce men’s natural advantage, and strong hormone drugs can even harm an athlete’s health, noted LifeSiteNews.
The rapporteur also cited the risk of injury to female athletes. This risk increases when biologically female competitors face off against biological males. According to Alsalem, physical harm suffered by female athletes as a result of males competing against them can be characterized as violence. (Related: Men pretending to be “women” can no longer box against real females, says World Boxing Council.)
“Alsalem’s approach challenges the assumption of Western and UN-backed gender policies, which are based on gender as a social construct unrelated to biological sex,” LifeSiteNews pointed out. But instead of praise, the rapporteur and her document received condemnation from representatives of UN member nations.
Dylan Lang, a member of the U.S. mission to the United Nations, rebuked the rapporteur and the document she presented. The diplomat, who was wearing a heart-shaped pin with the colors of the Progress Pride flag during the presentation, accused Alsalem of using “degrading language,” “bullying” and spreading “gender misinformation.” Lang was not alone in his condemnation, as delegates from the United Kingdom, Canada, the Netherlands, France, Mexico, Colombia and other nations also joined in.
Alsalem finds an ally in Polish conservative think tank
“Sex must be understood in its ordinary meaning to mean biological sex,” Alsalem said, citing a declaration from the 1995 UN World Conference on Women held in the Chinese capital Beijing. She continued that the idea of “sex based on biology” has been established in the international human rights catalog, as opposed to the concept of “gender.” According to the rapporteur, the two should not be confused.”
“Human rights language and principles must continue to be consistent with science and facts, including biological ones. Multiple studies have given evidence that athletes born male have a performance advantage in sports throughout their lives, although this is most apparent after puberty.”
Despite the condemnation she received, Alsalem appears to have found an ally in the Ordo Iuris Center for International Law (OI). Julia Ksiazek, an analyst for the Warsaw-based OI, put in her two cents on the rapporteur’s findings.
“Alsalem identified a major problem that became fully apparent at the Paris Olympics this year – when it became evident that women were no longer competing against women, but also men who ‘identify’ as women,” Ksiazek said.
“The UN expert rightly noted in her report that athletes’ mental identification does not in any way affect their biological predisposition, which they have by being men. This type of situation is the result of lobbying in international law for the concept of ‘sex with social context’ – gender.”
