UNEP's Green Economy Initiative, or global Green New Deal echoes President Franklin D Roosevelt's famous recovery-focused New Deal at the time of the Great Depression. According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), 2008 may prove to be a watershed year with food and fuel crises swiftly followed by a financial one. UNEP argues for a Green New Deal to deal with the even greater global challenges of our time: climate change; poverty; job creation for the 1.3 billion people under or unemployed, accelerating natural resource scarcity and the need to fuel and to feed six billion, rising to nine billion people by 2050.
