New! Video on financing the Green New Deal
This new video by the Greens/EFA Group in the European Parliament sketches the answer to a difficult question in the discussions around the GND: in these times of austerity, how can the investments called for by the Green New Deal be financed?

The video is an introduction to the publication: "Funding the Green New Deal: Building a Green Financial System", published by the Green European Foundation for the Greens/EFA Group. The study examines how we can make the necessary investment in a Green economy within the confines of the debt crisis.

You can explore this publication, together with many other studies, best practice examples and events directly on the Green New Deal website.

Watch the video!

The Green New Deal is a comprehensive response to the current economic, social and environmental crises. It's more than just another "eco-friendly" policy - it's a plan for a complete rethink of priorities, from the way we live and work to what we value most. A chance to reconcile our lifestyles - the way we live, produce and consume - with the physical limits of our planet.

One of its many aspects is a massive investment programme in clean energy projects, mobility, buildings and industrial production, to name a few examples. So how exactly are we going to pay for all this? Watch the video to get a glimpse at the main conclusions of the publication!
