Trade and Investment Requirements for Zero Carbon Report introduced Green House’s new ‘Blockers and Enablers’ toolkit to aid policymakers to shift trade and infrastructure choices from global growth to facing up to the climate emergency.

Toolkit Overview

The policy toolkit is made up of 10 blockers of zero carbon, that perpetuate unjust business-as-usual, and 10 enablers of a zero carbon sustainable future. Each of these blockers and enablers falls into one of three families:
  • Transforming business-as-usual (what fundamentally must change)
  • Therefore Our Government Must (where politicians must lead)
  • Therefore Our Soceity Must (how companies and individual must response)

So what is 'Locking in harm' or 'Sufficient Action'?

Below are the description of a few of the enablers and blockers in the toolkit. The page numbers indicate where in the Trade and Investment Requirements for Zero Carbon Report you can find out more about that enabler or blocker. The ones without page numbers will be explored in future publications as part of the Climate Emergency Economy project.
This project is organised by the Green European Foundation with the support of Green House and with the financial support of the European parliament to the Green European Foundation.  The European Parliament is not responsible for the content of this project.
