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. What matters is not what government borrows to invest, but what it invests in and how. This new briefing, How to Pay for the Green New Deal, sets out clearly how a transformational Green New Deal can be financed.
The Green New Deal: How to make it happen
This election must deliver a Green New Deal. The challenge is clear. We need a plan ambitious enough to tackle climate breakdown at the scale and speed set out by science. We need a plan to create a fair society that works for everyone and involves us all.
This briefing, produced by the Green New Deal Group, explains how a comprehensive Green New Deal would transform all our lives for the better.
A Green New Deal offers hope for a better future – we need to set out a positive vision
Writing in a new collection of essays, Putting People at the Heart of the Green Transition, published by IPPR and WWF, Green New Deal member Caroline Lucas, writing with Ed Miliband and Laura Sandys, makes the case for the need for a clear vision at the heart of the Green New Deal.
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.
At last there’s real hope for meaningful climate action
It’s been more than 10 years in the making, and is the top demand of the youth strikers gathering on Friday for the UK’s largest ever climate protest – which is why Friday is also the first attempt in Britain to put legislation in place to make a Green New Deal a reality for our country. Working with the Labour MP Clive Lewis, I am launching the full version of a Green New Deal bill (formal title, the decarbonisation and economic strategy bill), which sets out a transformative programme driven by the principles of justice and equity.

MPs launch Green New Deal Bill for the UK
As thousands gather for what is expected to be the UK’s biggest climate demonstration yet, MPs Caroline Lucas and Clive Lewis have launched the first legislative attempt to introduce a Green New Deal Bill in Parliament.
