The Green New Deal is a package of policy proposals that aims to address global warming, and financial crises. It echoes the New Deal, the social and economic programs launched by US President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the wake of the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and the onset of the Great Depression.〔Jeremy Lovell (July 21, 2008) ("Climate report calls for green 'New Deal'" ), Reuters.〕 The proposals of the Green New Deal generally echo the recommendations of UN-mandated organizations like ICLEI or the TEEB, of global NGOs, and of the Basel II and related monetary accords, especially as these relate to reforms to measurement of fundamental ecosystem risk and financial liabilities. The reinsurance industry and ''The Economist'' have also consistently expressed support for the general principles of consistent global carbon and emissions charges, for metrics of ecosystem destabilization risk and a generally high value on nature's services which underlie human valuation. Several of the proposals have already been implemented in one or more G8 or G20 countries including Norway, South Korea, the UK, US and European Union. The financial proposals echo some already underway at the IMF, World Bank, BIS and ECB to better reflect ecosystem valuations and reduce systematic incentives to invest in "dirty" over "clean" industries. == Proposals == *Government-led investment in energy efficiency and microgeneration *Low-carbon infrastructure redevelopment as a job creation strategy *A directed windfall tax on the profits of oil and gas companies (already established in Norway) with expanding renewable energy and energy efficiency investment *Further financial incentives for green investment and reduced energy usage, including reduction of private bank interest rates for green investment *Break up large financial institutions into smaller units to facilitate more explicit and detailed fundamental risk management, as opposed to an approach based on sheer size and diversifying into every activity regardless of its harms *Re-regulation of international finance including capital controls, increased scrutiny of financial derivatives, likely along the lines of Basel II *Prevent corporate tax evasion by demanding financial reporting and by clamping down on tax havens. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Green New Deal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
