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.
