The unequivocal case for net zero green growth
Year: 2024
Type: editorial
Abstract: This paper makes the case for net zero (or, more broadly, green) growth. It argues that net zero green growth is the most realistic strategy for halting global warming and meeting the objectives of the Paris Agreement. Net zero growth is feasible technologically, economically and behaviourally. Credible decarbonisation paths have been modelled and the leading countries have already broken the link between emissions and gross domestic product. Green growth, which emphasises economic opportunities, is the best way to mobilise the clean innovation and investment that net zero requires, and it is the best strategy to secure public support for rapid decarbonisation.
