Climate Crisis, Credit Crisis: The Quest for Green Growth
Dervis, Kemal et al.
Global Economy & Development at Brookings, Brookings Blum Roundtable 2009, April 2010, online edition, 40p
"As the global economy struggles to sustain its recovery from the deepest recession in sixty years, another challenge looms large: preventing the Earth from warming more than 3.6 °F, widely considered by climate experts as the acceptable level to reduce the risk of irreversible global damage resulting from climate change. To meet these challenges, we must look beyond our national borders, recognize that we face an uncertain future, and collaborate to ensure our collective well-being. Our success or failure will depend both on our timeliness and resolve—and will shape the fate of our planet for years to come."
Kemal Dervis is a Turkish economist and politician.
