This document discusses low-carbon development and the transition to a green global economy. It notes that investment decisions now will affect targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, and that action on climate change now will be cheaper than inaction or late action. Low-carbon growth refers to sustainable economic growth that helps reduce emissions while creating new jobs in green technology and clean energy. The UNDP can assist countries in developing low-emissions strategies and policies to transition to low-carbon economies that reduce poverty and drive sustainable development.

Green growth can be seen as a way to pursue economic growth and development, while preventing environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, and unsustainable natural resource use.
For the short term, green growth can transform the opportunity of the crisis to ensure a more sustainable economic recovery.
For the long term, it will promote new, greener sources of growth.
The OECD is working on policy recommendations to help governments achieve greener growth. The presentation gives an overview of the findings to date and the next steps. It mentions innovation, taxes, jobs and development issues, as well as how to measure progress towards greener growth.

Towards policy coherence for inclusive and sustainable developmentPCDACCOUNT
Ebba Dohlman, OECD, discusses policy coherence for inclusive and sustainable development in a post-2015 context at a workshop organised by the European Commission on 12 June 2014.
Global climate change threatens to disrupt the well-being of society, undermine economic development and alter the natural environment, making it an urgent policy priority for the 21st century. Governments around the world have reached consensus on the need to achieve large cuts in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over the coming decades, to adapt to the impacts of climate change, and to ensure the necessary financial and technical support for developing countries to take action.
The financial industry has historically
played a number of fundamental roles in
shaping the modern world.
The activities of the industry supported the development of
the free market, economic expansion, improving the quality of
life, personal and national security, and enabled individuals and
organizations to save and invest. Fulfilling these functions requires
the financial sector to constantly take care of its reputation
and trust in the financial system and respond to the changing
expectations of an increasing number of stakeholders. Today,
the industry is at a key point in its evolution. In the face of climate
change and the consequent changes in investment preferences,
stakeholders expect financial institutions to contribute to a
fairer and more sustainable world and to create a new face of
the financial services sector in which profit and social impact can
coexist.
Why now? The pandemic has reinforced the need to build
a sense of purpose, strengthen confidence in banks,
and help address global issues the economy faces, such
as transformation in the face of climate change. The
accumulation in the public debate of issues such as prosperity,
development, social responsibility, justice, conflict, security, ecology
and sustainable development has created a turning point in
history. To continue to grow, the financial services industry needs
to take care of making profits in tune with multiple stakeholders,
keeping consumers at the center of everything they do. And these
consumers are more concerned than ever about climate change
and expect real action from business.

Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
