Proposals for aLow Carbon Economy
At the Assembly we will launch a report to
the Club of Rome for a climate-stable andresource-efficient
economy. The underlyingeconomic model displays the effects of
sus-tainability interventions, such as fiscal meas-ures, treaties
and regulation, proving that aflourishing economy is feasible with
a drasticreduction in (carbon) energy use and a parallelincrease in
resource efficiency.
