Former governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, told the BBC that the answer to the climate crisis was investment in a green economy.
Carney says the answer lies in a global pot of $170tn of private capital “which is looking for disclosure.”
Now, just think what that capital could do for the earth and humanity. That is more than eight times the annual GDP of the U.S.! It is also a proof that the issue is not about lack of capital or resources but about political economic decisions tied up to the functioning of the capitalist system. Private ownership is one, if not the main, hindrance to real change.
