Green New Deal

The Green New Deal proposals aim to address climate change while achieving social goals like job creation, economic growth, and reducing economic inequality. These proposals combine the economic approach of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal with modern ideas such as renewable energy and resource efficiency. The concept has been discussed since the early 2000s and gained prominence with international calls for a Green New Deal, including a 2019 proposal from the European Commission for a European Green Deal and a 2019 attempt to pass legislation for a Green New Deal in the US, sponsored by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey.learn more on wikipedia
