UNEP
March 2009

The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) recently issued a policy brief on a Global Green New Deal. According to the announcement, the Global Green New Deal,

"has three broad objectives. In the short term, it should make a major contribution to reviving the world economy, saving and creating jobs, and protecting vulnerable groups. In the medium term, it should promote sustainable and inclusive growth and the achievement of the MDGs, especially ending extreme poverty by 2025. Also in the medium term, it must reduce carbon dependency and ecosystem degradation – these are key risks along a path to a sustainable world economy."
