Green New Deal


Back in 2007, in the U.K., the Green New Deal Group began to use the term Green New Deal... This group launched a first formal landmark report on 21 July, 2008 calling for a "Green New Deal". The Group consisted of two former directors of Friends of the Earth, the Guardian's economics editor, Larry Elliott, the Green Party MEP Caroline Lucas and Andrew Simms of the New Economics Foundation...


The following report is the fourth publication of the Green New Deal Group. Meeting since early 2007, the Green New Deal Group’s membership is drawn to reflect a wide range of expertise relating to the ongoing financial, energy and environmental crises.

But then there’s Richard Murphy, a British tax scholar who also claims to have coined the phrase “Green New Deal” around the same time as Friedman. “I don’t even know who Tom Friedman is. If he used the term, it’s complete coincidence.”
