Low Carbon Growth
About the Research
A primary motivation for leaders to enact new or improved climate policies is to generate economic growth and jobs. The green growth narrative originated in China and has rapidly spread to other emerging economies, the European Union, and at times in the United States. CPL quantifies the potential economic gains and losses associated with various policies. CPL also assesses the relative effectiveness of green industrialization strategies at the national, regional, and local level. Increasingly, green industrialization is encountering trade and investment barriers, so we intend to analyze these barriers and identify pathways for overcoming them.
