Funding energy efficiency needs to become a central climate policy for a successful COP in Glasgow
Writing for Green Alliance, Colin Hines makes the case that an ambitious ’30 by 30′ programme to make the UK’s homes and other buildings energy efficient could be key to success at the 2020 Climate Change talks, hosted by the UK in Glasgow in November. Improving living conditions by making all homes and buildings energy efficient, eventually reducing the UK’s carbon emissions by up to 40 per cent, should be the target trumpeted at the Glasgow climate talks as the host country’s major contribution to addressing the climate emergency.
How to Pay for the Green New Deal: A Briefing
Debate in the 2019 election campaign in the UK has focussed on whether spending plans proposed by political parties are affordable. This, as the Green New Deal Group argue, is to fundamentally misunderstand the way that government investment works.

A European Green New Deal to tackle climate change
The huge increase in support for a Green New Deal in Europe and the United States has led many groups, old and new, to clamour for such an initiative. Pamphlets have been written, placards designed, marches planned, but there is often a lack of detailed policies. Now we need practical policies to make it happen, says Green New Deal Group member Colin Hines.
How the Green New Deal was born
Eleven years ago, a group of economists and green thinkers sketched a radical plan to transform the economy and protect the environment. Today, their ideas have been embraced by Labour and US Democrats. Journalist Hettie O’Brien, interviewed Green New Deal Group member Ann Pettifor on the history and trajectory of the Green New Deal for The New Statesman.
