Abstract

The slow pace of progress in the international climate negotiations is contrasted by the dynamic changes occurring on the ground as competition among countries for green technology leadership heats up. China, Germany, Japan, and the United States all exhibit interest in being green technology leaders although the United States could fall behind due to lack of strong federal government support for climate action.

N1 - Funding Information: In late 2008 at the height of the global financial crisis, the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki Moon urged the world community to take heed of the new United Nations Environment Program’s “Green Economy Initiative” funded by Germany, Norway and the European Commission. The initiative aims at shifting the global economy in the direction of a green industrial revolution in order to trigger an employment boom in the 21st century. Sectors that are likely to benefit in a Green New Deal will be clean energy and clean technologies (including recycling), rural energy (including renewables and sustainable biomasse), ecosystem infrastructure, and sustainable cities (including planning, transportation and green building) ( United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), 2008a, b ). In Mr. Moon’s words: “Governments have a huge role. With the right policies and a global framework, we can generate economic growth and steer it in a low-carbon direction, not unlike Roosevelt’s original New Deal. Handled properly, our efforts to cope with the financial crisis can reinforce our efforts to combat climate change. In today’s crisis lies tomorrow’s opportunity — economic opportunity, measured in jobs and growth.” ( Ki-Moon, 2008 ).
