The United Nations (UN) is calling on governments around the world to fight “global warming” by mandating digital ID systems to track members of the general public.
The call was made by unelected foreign bureaucrats who serve on the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
UNDP officials made the case for why digital identity is allegedly a key weapon against “global warming” in an article titled: “Why legal identity is crucial to tackling the climate crisis.”
If governments assign digital identities to citizens, they explained, authorities can track populations more easily in an “environmental disaster.”
The UNDP further argued that countries that roll out digital identity programs will have more data about their taxpayers that can then be used in an emergency.
Governments should know the income and health status of every taxpayer, as well as their education level.
This would help authorities have a more “targeted response” to citizens during, for example, a weather disaster, according to the world body.
However, a digital identity is not only for tracking taxpayer movements and backgrounds.
It can also be used to track how much energy taxpayers are consuming, the UNDP gloats.
Once a government has this data, it can force citizens to change their energy consumption habits.
The UNDP refers to this as “inspiring behavior change.”
“Leveraging digital legal ID data to track energy consumption, inspire behavior change, and enhance sustainability measures can mitigate climate-related disasters,” the UNDP officials wrote.
This push for digital ID, however, is not a new one.
The UN has had a years-long objective to ensure that every person is assigned a digital ID.
One of the organization’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is to register all children under five with digital legal identities.
According to the UN’s vision, each individual’s digital identity will be tied to other aspects of his or her life, creating a kind of digital web.
At the center of this web would be the ID, which would be accessible to government authorities.
For example, in 2023, GAVI, a Bill Gates-funded UN-sponsored vaccination body, began pilot testing a program in Ghana that immediately registers the biometric data of every newborn baby.
At birth, infants’ fingerprints are scanned, as are the voices of their parents or caregivers.
These data are used to create digital identities that track each baby’s vaccinations and allow him or her to receive government benefits.
In May 2023, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for universal welfare, which he said governments should distribute to citizens according to their digital IDs.
Those IDs, he explained, should be linked to private bank accounts:
“Digital IDs linked with bank or mobile money accounts can improve the delivery of social protection coverage and serve to better reach eligible beneficiaries.
“Digital technologies may help to reduce leakage, errors, and costs in the design of social protection programs.”
But the concept raises concern among opponents of digital ID, which is known as the successor to vaccine passports.
Critics say that digital ID increases the probability of government surveillance and totalitarian overreach.
For example, while a government can use a taxpayer’s digital ID to deposit money, it could also use it to lock their bank account if they haven’t paid their carbon taxes, another proposed reform by the UN.
