New Global Climate Prosperity Scoreboard finds over $1 Trillion invested in Green since 2007
My friends at the Climate Prosperity Alliance have published their new tool to account for investments in the Green economy. They call it the “Global Climate Prosperity Scoreboard”, and they have found that already over $1 Trillion have been put to use in the Green economy since 2007.
Climate Prosperity Alliance
“The Climate Prosperity Alliance uses the Climate Solutions 2 computer model of Australia’s Climate Risk Pty., showing how $1 trillion invested every year for the next 10 years can assure the global transition to sustainable prosperity and job growth. This $10 trillion is less than the bailouts of failed banks in the USA and Europe and less than 10% of the world’s pension and institutional funds of $120 trillion. Institutional fund managers can shift 10% of their assets away from hedge funds, risky derivatives and commodity speculation to real investments in a greener global economy, thereby assuring their beneficiaries a healthier future.”
The leaders behind the Climate Prosperity Alliance are Dr. Marc A. Weiss, Chairman and CEO of Global Urban Development and Chair of the Climate Prosperity Alliance, and Dr. Hazel Henderson, futurist, author of “Ethical Markets: Growing the Green Economy” (Chelsea Green, 2006) and president of Ethical Markets Media.
A big thank you to Peter Matthies at the Conscious Business Institute for bringing this initiative to Germany.
