Green Economy Initiative
Mobilizing and re-focusing the global economy towards investments in clean technologies and 'natural' infrastructure such as forests and soils is the best bet for real growth, combating climate change and triggering an employment boom in the 21st century.
On 22 October 2008, UNEP and leading economists launched the Green Economy Initiative (GEI) aimed at seizing an historic opportunity to bring about tomorrow's economy today. The GEI, which will initially run for a period of two years, has three key elements: the Green Economy report, that will provide an overview, analysis and synthesis of how public policy can help markets accelerate the transition towards a green economy; The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB), a partnership project focusing on valuation issues; and finally the Green Jobs report, published in September 2008, that looked at employment trends.

31 de marzo
Además de ser SAN BENJAMÍN, este es el día que se inicia el Blog LETSFIXIT!! con el objetivo de apoyar las iniciativas de cambio climático y de lograr los cambios PASO A PASO que se requieren.
Por que la compleja tarea de combatir el cambio climático no pasa por grandes eventos, ni cambios políticos, ni cosas muy complejas...la solución se encuentra en cada uno de nosotros. Si cada uno de nosotros sigue ciertos mínimos patrones de comportamiento, si apoya las iniciativas que se promueven a nivel local, si evita consumir combustibles fósiles a destajo, entre muchos otros tips que les brindaré en mi blog, podemos marcar la diferencia.
SE PUEDE, LETSFIXIT!!!
