Hi Aseem

I have to use the chance to send you a link to an article that Guri Bang and I 
wrote back in 2010:

Guri Ban and Miranda Schreurs, “A Green New Deal: Framing US Climate 
Leadership,” In Rüdiger Wurzel and James Connelly, The European Union as a 
Leader in International Climate Change Politics. Routledge, 2010, pp. 235-251.

THE GREEN NEW DEAL: PATHWAYS TO A LOW CARBON ECONOMY

Objective and Rationale
In 2007, Thomas Friedman called for the Green New 
Deal. 
In 2010 report prepared for the United Nations Environment Program, Edward 
Barbier outlined a plan for a Global Green New 
Deal.
 But the idea of a Green New Deal captured popular imagination when Rep. 
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) formally 
presented the Green New Deal resolution to the US Congress (House Resolution 
109 & 
Senate Resolution 
59) in 2019. 
Their Green New Deal (GND) proposal outlines an ambitious vision to transform 
America into a low carbon economy alongside addressing equity and justice 
issues. Several 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls have endorsed it fully 
while others have endorsed it in spirit. The GND also has its critics. Speaker 
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has shrugged it off as a "green dream." Virtually, all 
Republican leaders have opposed it. They have dubbed it as socialist, 
un-American, and so on.



Very few dispute that climate change is real and requires urgent attention. The 
recent IPCC report and the US Federal Climate 
Assessment
 paint a grim picture of climate change. Yet, climate policy remains a 
polarizing issue. Moreover, under the Trump Administration, the US has 
withdrawn from the Paris Agreement. It seeks to rollback the Clean Power Plan 
and dilute the fuel economy standards. But even at the global level, climate 
policies are facing a political challenge. Carbon emissions increased in 2018 
and countries continue to invest in coal. Rural France has violently protested 
against a carbon tax.  Political leaders in Australia and Brazil seem to have 
abandoned their countries' Paris pledges.



In the absence of federal leadership on climate policy, US States have emerged 
as climate leaders. But even climate leaders face challenges. California has 
canceled the high-speed rail project linking San Francisco with Los Angles 
citing cost overruns. Washington state voted down citizen initiatives for a 
carbon tax in 2016 and again in 2018. Even Seattle, whose Mayor took the 
leadership role in founding the US Mayors Climate Protection Agreement in 2005, 
is witnessing rising carbon emissions.



Given these policy challenges, this blog symposium will feature short, 
1,000-word commentaries that examine both the successes and failures in the 
transition to a low carbon economy. Given the short time frame for climate 
action, which GND elements should be prioritized for implementation and why?  
Which administrative units ought to take the lead? What sorts of policy 
instruments should be employed? How will it be financed? What is the role of 
firms and nonprofits in the GND rollout? How can non-climate goals get 
incorporated in climate policies?



Given the expansive vision for GND, all policy scholars and practitioners are 
invited to explore how their work and expertise might relate to GND, and more 
broadly to the transition to a low carbon economy. The commentaries could 
address issues such as (but not limited to) the following:



  *   What sort of administrative structures are required to implement GND? To 
what extent is the experience of
