The Global Commission on the Economy and Climate, and its flagship project the New Climate Economy, were set up to help governments, businesses and society make better-informed decisions on how to achieve economic prosperity and development while also addressing climate change.
We are entering a new era of economic growth. This approach can deliver growth that is strong, sustainable, balanced, and inclusive. It is driven by the interaction between rapid technological innovation, sustainable infrastructure investment, and increased resource productivity.
The core proposition of the Global Commission is simple. We can build a better, more people centred, more resilient growth model by accelerating structural transformation in five key economic systems: clean energy systems, smarter urban development, sustainable land use, wise water management, and a circular industrial economy.
