Dear Colleagues,
Today, the Green New Deal Group - a new UK alliance of experts in
energy, the environment and finance launched its first report /A Green
New Deal/. It calls for a co-ordinated response to the ‘triple crunch’
of climate change, high oil prices and the credit crisis. It is the
first attempt to address the nature of broader financial and monetary
reform necessary to create the investment framework needed for the
energy transition to avert dangerous climate change.
The full Green New Deal report is now available here at the *nef* website:

Very best,

rethink. Read contributions from a unique range of experts and household
