\"Green>> Back to June 2017<\/a><\/p>\n

In late April 2017, the latest Green Transition Scoreboard\u00ae (GTS) found that, despite Trump\u2019s anti-green policies, private green investments now total more than $8.1 trillion USD<\/strong> ($8,133,456,730,370).<\/p>\n

Published annually since 2009, the GTS is a global measure of private green investment in five green sectors: 1) Renewable Energy, 2) Efficiency, 3) Life Systems (water, waste, recycling, community investing, e-learning and fintech), 4) Green Construction, and 5) Green Corporate R&D<\/strong>. Government investments have been omitted wherever possible and technological criteria are strictly applied.<\/p>\n

The aggregated total is tracked by Ethical Markets Media, Certified B Corporation\u2019s, team of experts and global advisory board, led by CEO Dr. Hazel Henderson, futurist\/author and former US government science policy advisor.<\/p>\n

Henderson said “The green economy is growing faster than anyone realizes. We knew that this good news on the progress of the global green transition couldn\u2019t be fully covered by mainstream financial media and news programs whose advertising is still from fossilized sectors.”<\/em><\/p>\n

GTS co-author Tim Nash, The Sustainable Economist, adds “Although the USA is expected to fall behind due to federal policies that put obsolete industries like coal ahead of thriving green sectors, large corporations are stepping up to invest billions in more efficient technologies.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Cities and states worldwide are now leading, energized by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and many others. The UNEP Inquiry on Design of a Sustainable Financial System is successfully engaging conventional financial markets. Co-director Dr. Simon Zadek welcomed the release of the GTS report,<\/p>\n

“With a changed political landscape, the case for green finance has to be strengthened, so your work is very important and has to be widely used.”<\/p>\n
