Can the UN Help Wean Us Off Our Fossil Fuel Addiction?

Whether the UN could help to wean the world off fossil fuels.

Dr Adam Day is published in IPI's Global Observatory on whether the UN could help to wean the world off fossil fuels. He offers three pathways outlined in the Secretary-General's Our Common Agenda that could be used in coming years: looking beyond GDP as a measure of prosperity and progress, ensuring that young people and future generations are represented in such deliberations and that UN-supported programming be conditioned on long-term existential risks, and for the High-Level Advisory Board on Global Public Goods to consider actionable ways to address climate.
