The Green New Deal: A Ten-Year Window to Reshape International Economic Law
July 30, 2019
By Todd Tucker
To address the existential threat of climate change, the international community must come together and rewrite the rules. In a new working paper, Todd Tucker argues that a global Green New Deal—in tandem with a domestic Green New Deal—can both remake an international trade infrastructure in crisis and decarbonize the global economy in a socially sustainable and equitable way.
To learn more about decarbonization at the domestic level, see Decarbonizing the US Economy: Pathways Toward a Green New Deal by Mark Paul, J.W. Mason, and Colorado State University’s Anders Fremstad.
