One of the most critical and urgent challenges facing countries today
is achieving economic prosperity and development while also combating
climate change.
The Global Commission on the Economy and Climate, and its flagship project The New Climate Economy, have been set up to help governments, businesses and society make better-informed decisions on these crucial issues.
The Global Commission is chaired by former President of Mexico Felipe
Calderón and comprises former heads of government and finance
ministers, and leaders in the fields of economics and business. The
Commission's work is being conducted by a global partnership of leading
research institutes. Reporting in September 2014, the project will make
recommendations on actions and policies that can achieve high quality
economic growth at the same time as addressing dangerous climate
change.
The Global Commission on the Economy and Climate was commissioned by
seven countries - Colombia, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Norway, South Korea,
Sweden and the United Kingdom - as an independent initiative to report
to the interational community.
