Meeting the short run challenges of reviving the worldwide
economy need not mean sacrificing long run economic and
environmental sustainability. A Global Green New Deal GGND is an
economic policy strategy for ensuring a more economically and
environmentally sustainable world economic recovery. Reviving
growth and creating jobs should be essential objectives. But
policies should also aim to reduce carbon dependency, protect
ecosystems and water resources, and alleviate poverty. Otherwise,
economic recovery today will do little to avoid future economic and
environmental crises. Part One argues why a GGND strategy is
essential to the sustainability of the global economy. Part Two
provides an overview of the key national policies whilst Part Three
focuses on the global actions necessary to allow national policies
to work. Part Four summarizes the main recommendations for national
and international action, and discusses the wider implications for
restructuring the world economy towards ''greener'' development.
