Main findings of Better Growth, Better Climate: The New Climate Economy Report
• Economic growth and climate mitigation can be achieved together. We do not need to choose.
• A growing number of businesses, cities and countries are demonstrating this. Recent technological and policy developments mean that even more opportunities are available today.
• About US$90 trillion will be invested in infrastructure to 2030 – need to choose if it is low-carbon and climate resilient. Low-carbon would not cost much more, and fuel savings could fully offset additional investment costs.
• But if we lock-in the wrong path, we risk significant economic and social impacts of climate change. Need to act urgently.
• There are multiple economic benefits of action, e.g. reduced health costs from air pollution, less congestion & road deaths, enhanced energy, water and food security. In many cases these will outweigh the costs of action.

Chile:First solar plant with no govt. support
U.S. southwest:Solar plant at ~8 ¢/kWh, competitive with coal
South Africa:7 ¢/kWh wind, 30% cheaper than new coal
Brazil:4.5 ¢/kWh wind, cheaper than any other source
Parts of India:Wind at 6-10 ¢/kWh, close to coal at 5-8 ¢/kWh
U.S.Wind at 5-8 ¢/kWh, cheaper than new coal
Wind also reported competitive with coal in Australia, Chile, Mexico, New Zealand, Turkey.
Rooftop solar cheaper than electricity retail rates in at least 11 countries

• In an area of 640,000 sq. km, lifted more than 2.5 million people out of poverty, boosting farm incomes from $70 to $200 pp pa
• Average grain yields increased by 60% over 10 years• Stopped Yellow River silting, reduced air borne dust to Beijing, and increased soil
carbon storage

Main finding of India: Pathways to Sustaining Rapid Development in a New Climate Economy
Key reforms in energy, cities, and agriculture/forestry policies and institutions can unlock more rapid economic growth and improved welfare while tackling many of the unwanted national side-effects of the existing model of growth, such as severe air pollution, stress on water resources, rising energy insecurity and growth urban sprawl. Such reforms also provide important climate-co benefits by mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and climate risks.
