Two per cent of global GDP can save the planet, says UN

摘要

Investing just two per cent of global gross domestic product (GDP) into ten key sectors will allow a transition towards a "green economy" while boosting jobs and economic growth, says the United Nations (UN). According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), $1.3 trillion a year strategically invested and "backed by forward-looking national and international policies" will lead to millions of new jobs, the development of new industries, health benefits from cleaner air and energy efficiency savings.
