A new report

The Report highlights opportunities in five key economic systems – energy, cities, food and land use, water, and industry. It demonstrates that ambitious action across these systems could deliver net economic gains compared with business-as-usual.<\/p>\n

One of the contributors to the report was Professor Lord Nicholas Stern, Chair of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, who is also a co-chair of the Global Commission which published the report.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the publication of the report Lord Stern said:<\/p>\n

“We can now see that this new growth story embodies very powerful dynamics: innovation, learning-by-doing, and economies of scale. Further, it offers us the very attractive combination of cities where we can move, breathe, and be productive; sustainable infrastructure that is not only clean and efficient, but also withstands increasingly frequent and severe climate extremes; and ecosystems that are more productive, robust, and resilient.”<\/p>\n
