The New Climate Economy report by Kristine Smukste - 21 August, 2015 Share SHARE Facebook share Twitter LinkedIn Copy URL Email Print Breadcrumb Home News and Announcements The New Climate Economy Report Seizing the global opportunity The new report, released by the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate, explores how countries at all levels of income can have better economic growth and a better climate. It provides 10 practical recommendations that will boost economic growth and reduce climate risk. These recommendations, including phasing down the use of HFCs, could deliver up to 96% of the emissions reductions required by 2030 to keep our planet on a pathway to keep global warming under 2°C. And these are actions that would also deliver multiple economic benefits. The report includes a section on HFCs in support of an amendment to the Montreal Protocol​ and relates to other aspects of CCAC's agenda in respect of urban waste management (section: Accelerating Low-Carbon Development in the World’s Cities), fuel economy standards (section: Raising Energy Efficiency Standards to the Global Best) and energy access (section: Investing at Least a Trillion Dollars a Year in Clean Energy). garbage-279776_1280.jpg The report calls for stronger cooperation between governments, businesses, investors, cities and communities to drive economic growth in the emerging low-carbon economy. International and multistakeholder cooperation can scale up technological change, expand markets, reduce costs, address concerns about international competitiveness, spread best practice and increase the flows of finance.
