Low HighIncome Inequality
The economic argument
Growth needs Green:
• China has set emissions targets in 7 provinces.
• Germany has a 45% renewables target by 2030.
• South Korea’s growth model is based on Green growth
Future growth needs a more equal society
• More equal societies have better education systems and are more competitive in knowledge economies
• Ultimately it’s a question of where societies want to invest: in health and equity vs. insurance and prisons
