Yet in \u003ci\u003eGreening the Global Economy\u003c\/i\u003e, economist Robert Pollin shows that they are attainable through steady, large-scale investments--totaling about 1.5 percent of global GDP on an annual basis--in both energy efficiency and clean renewable energy sources. Not only that: Pollin argues that with the right investments, these efforts will expand employment and drive economic growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on years of research, Pollin explores all aspects of the problem: how much energy will be needed in a range of industrialized and developing economies; what efficiency targets should be; and what kinds of industrial policy will maximize investment and support private and public partnerships in green growth so that a clean energy transformation can unfold without broad subsidies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll too frequently, inaction on climate change is blamed on its potential harm to the economy. Pollin shows greening the economy is not only possible but necessary: global economic growth depends on it. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53507323920657,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780262028233.jpg?v=1778124087","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-greening-the-global-economy-by-robert-pollin","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
