''A Green New Deal'' is a report released on July 21, 2008 by the Green New Deal Group and published by the New Economics Foundation, which outlines a series of policy proposals to tackle global warming, the current financial crisis, and peak oil.〔Mark Lynas (July 17, 2008) "( A Green New Deal )" ''New Statesman''〕 The report calls for the re-regulation of finance and taxation, and major government investment in renewable energy sources. Its full title is: ''A Green New Deal: Joined-up policies to solve the triple crunch of the credit crisis, climate change and high oil prices''.〔New Economics Foundation, (July 21, 2008) http://www.neweconomics.org/gen/greennewdealneededforuk210708.aspx〕 == Main recommendations == * Government-led investment in energy efficiency and microgeneration which would make 'every building a powerstation'. * The creation of thousands of green jobs to enable low-carbon infrastructure reconstruction. * A windfall tax on the profits of oil and gas companies - as has been established in Norway - so as to provide revenue for government spending on renewable energy and energy efficiency. * Developing financial incentives for green investment and reduced energy usage. * Changes to the UK's financial system, including the reduction of the Bank of England's interest rate, once again to support green investment. * Large financial institutions - 'mega banks' - to be broken up into smaller units and green banking. * The re-regulation of international finance: ensuring that the financial sector does not dominate the rest of the economy. This would involve the re-introduction of capital controls. * Increased official scrutiny of exotic financial products such as derivatives. * The prevention of corporate tax evasion by demanding financial reporting and by clamping down on tax havens.〔David Teather (July 21, 2008) "( Green New Deal group calls for break-up of banks )", ''The Guardian''〕〔Jeremy Lovell (July 21, 2008) ("Climate report calls for green 'New Deal'" ), Reuters.〕〔Riley Smith (July 31, 2008) "(Group Suggests a Green New Deal in the UK to Fight Climate Change )", Celsias.com.〕 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「A Green New Deal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
