Green New Deal

File:Solar panels in Oregon vineyard.jpg

Throughout the 1970s and 1990s, an economic policy to move the United States economy away from nonrenewable energy was developed by activists in the labor and the environmental movements.{{cite web |title=Where are the Greens in the Green New Deal? |first=David |last=Cobb |author-link=David Cobb (activist) |work=The Progressive |access-date=December 14, 2019 |url=https://progressive.org/dispatches/where-are-the-greens-in-the-green-new-deal-cobb-190323/ |date=March 23, 2019 |archive-date=May 28, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190528050524/https://progressive.org/dispatches/where-are-the-greens-in-the-green-new-deal-cobb-190323/ |url-status=live }} During this period, the concept of green politics emerged as a result of increasing awareness and concern surrounding issues of climate change. The public contended that the US needed to address the climate crisis with a large-scale initiative, similar to the New Deal that was implemented under the Roosevelt administration. This sparked the emergence of various proposals on an international scale, particularly in the UK coalition and the UN Environmental Programme.{{Cite journal |last1=Bloomfield |first1=Jon |last2=Steward |first2=Fred |date=October 2020 |title=The Politics of the Green New Deal |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1467-923X.12917 |journal=The Political Quarterly |language=en |volume=91 |issue=4 |pages=770–779 |doi=10.1111/1467-923X.12917 |issn=1467-923X}}In the 1980s, the UN promoted the concept of “sustainable development” to frame environmentalism as an economic and social policy, contributing to later efforts by the UK such as the 2008 Climate Change Act. This act was a targeted, preemptive measure against climate change and contributed to a sustainability transition within the US. The Green New Deal ultimately emerged as a result of an increasingly political historical context that was undergoing a sustainability transition.

An early use of the phrase "Green New Deal" was by journalist Thomas Friedman.{{cite news|url=https://grist.org/article/whats-the-green-new-deal-the-surprising-origins-behind-a-progressive-rallying-cry/|title=What's the 'Green New Deal'?

In early 2008, author Jeff Biggers launched a series of challenges for a Green New Deal from the perspective of his writings from coal country in Appalachia. Biggers wrote that then-presidential-candidate Obama "should shatter these artificial racial boundaries by proposing a New 'Green' Deal to revamp the region and bridge a growing chasm between bitterly divided Democrats, and call for an end to mountaintop removal policies that have led to impoverishment and ruin in the coal fields."{{cite web|url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/beyond-race-obamas-green-_b_92475|title=Beyond Race: Obama's Green Opportunity|last=Biggers|first=Jeff|date=March 19, 2008|website=HuffPost|language=en|access-date=May 8, 2019|archive-date=August 1, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200801063232/https://www.huffpost.com/entry/beyond-race-obamas-green-_b_92475|url-status=live}} Biggers followed up with other Green New Deal proposals over the next four years.See for example: [http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/science/10/06/biggers.coal/index.html CNN, 10 October 2008] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306044416/http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/science/10/06/biggers.coal/index.html |date=March 6, 2019 }}, [http://america.aljazeera.com/opinions/2013/12/appalachia-coalfieldregenerationchristmas.html Al Jazeera, December 2013] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190807131704/http://america.aljazeera.com/opinions/2013/12/appalachia-coalfieldregenerationchristmas.html |date=August 7, 2019 }}

While the discussion of the Green New Deal was relevant and widespread during this time, there were limitations to fully implementing it within the context of the Obama campaign. The framework of this initiative was weak, and primarily existed as a response to growing concern surrounding the climate crisis that had been accelerated due to increased reliance on fossil fuel extraction and consumption. {{Pie chart

In 2009, the economist Edward Barbier authored the [https://www.cbd.int/development/doc/UNEP-global-green-new-deal.pdf United Nations’ Global Green New Deal], which was a strategy for greening the global economic recovery after the Great Recession. He further elaborated on this strategy in a 2010 book.

In late 2018/ early 2019, a series of extreme weather events led to the official “rebirth” of the Green New Deal, reflecting the sense of urgency that reverberated throughout the global population that struggled with addressing the consequences of climate change. The Green New Deal can be considered a product of a broader shift towards environmentalism and action against climate change. According to historian and urban policy specialist Jon Bloomfield, "the Green New Deal was reborn in February 2019 as a package of proposed US legislation linking radical environmental and economic programmes, presented by Democrats Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Edward Markey."

By 2019, international calls for a Green New Deal had already become more prominent. This reflected the popular support the GND had received in the US in late 2018, growing recognition of the global warming threat resulting from recent extreme weather events, the Greta effect and the IPCC 1.5 °C report. In addition to activity within conventional national & multilateral politics, there has been support for a Green New Deal within city diplomacy. In October 2019, the C40 committed to supporting a Global Green New Deal, announcing there will be determined action from all its 94 cities, with 30 cities having already peaked their emissions and progressing rapidly towards net-zero.{{cite news

{{Main|Environmental justice}}

In the context of the Green New Deal, environmental justice refers to the promotion of policies that recognize historical and ongoing injustices perpetuated against vulnerable populations such as communities of color, Indigenous populations, and low-income communities. Environmental justice also involves advocating for a just energy transition, job development, and the integration of economic policy and equity. Environmental justice is explicitly referenced as a crucial component of the Green New Deal, integrating various principles into its framework. Ensuring that communities of color, low-income populations, and Indigenous peoples are involved and represented within the policy of the Green New Deal is an important aspect of environmental justice. The Green New Deal commits to the equitable distribution of and access to resources, healthcare, and sustainable infrastructure in order to address systemic inequalities.{{Cite journal |last1=Boyle |first1=Alaina D. |last2=Leggat |first2=Graham |last3=Morikawa |first3=Larissa |last4=Pappas |first4=Yanni |last5=Stephens |first5=Jennie C. |date=November 2021 |title=Green New Deal proposals: Comparing emerging transformational climate policies at multiple scales |journal=Energy Research & Social Science |volume=81 |pages=102259 |doi=10.1016/j.erss.2021.102259 |issn=2214-6296|doi-access=free |bibcode=2021ERSS...8102259B }}

The 2019 United States congressional resolution Recognizing the duty of the Federal Government to create a Green New Deal introduced by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ed Markey advocated a "just transition", counteracting previous systemic injustices that had disproportionally hurt vulnerable communities. A “just transition” relies on increasing social and economic equity and access to opportunity which are crucial components of the Green New Deal and principles of environmental and social justice. Specifically, this equitable environmental transition relies on the even distribution of clean energy investments throughout various communities in order to address issues of historic oppression and the exacerbation of environmental damage for vulnerable populations. The integration of multiple sectors and investments in climate mitigation, adaptation, and resilience offers approaches to including climate justice principles in the mission of decarbonization efforts. The central argument is that the Green New Deal for Public Housing offers a persuasive plan for simultaneously addressing inadequate housing, climate threats, and economic injustice that exposes millions of Americans to public health issues. The plan proposes to increase spending to allow for zero-carbon homes to thrive, whether through decarbonization unit upgrades or new homes. Experts argue that through these methods, we could eliminate approximately 5.7 million metric tonnes of carbon emissions, which is equivalent to 1.26 million fewer cars.

Housing.” Climate and Community Project, March 2024.

Data specialist and environmental educator Alaina Boyle states that “all the GND proposals dedicate space in the introduction to reference research on historic environmental, economic, and social injustices that relate to climate and jobs investments.”{{Cite journal |last1=Boyle |first1=Alaina D. |last2=Leggat |first2=Graham |last3=Morikawa |first3=Larissa |last4=Pappas |first4=Yanni |last5=Stephens |first5=Jennie C. |date=2021-11-01 |title=Green New Deal proposals: Comparing emerging transformational climate policies at multiple scales |journal=Energy Research & Social Science |volume=81 |pages=102259 |doi=10.1016/j.erss.2021.102259 |issn=2214-6296|doi-access=free |bibcode=2021ERSS...8102259B }} The preservation of public lands and resources, emphasis on community-led decision-making, and development of affordable healthcare, housing, and clean environments throughout various communities connects the Green New Deals to principles of environmental justice.

AOC, who was heavily involved in the rebirth of the Green New Deal, specifically emphasized respecting Indigenous sovereignty and gaining the consent of these communities in respect to use their land for development and extraction.

On continental Europe, the European Spring coalition campaigned under the banner of a "Green New Deal" for the 2019 EU elections. In December 2019, the newly elected European Commission under Von der Leyen presented a set of policy proposals under the name European Green Deal. Compared to the United States plan, it has a less ambitious decarbonisation timeline, with an aim of carbon neutrality in 2050. The policy proposal involves every sector in the economy and the option of a border adjustment mechanism, a 'carbon tariff', is on the table to prevent carbon leakage from outside countries.{{cite web|url=https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/12/17/united-states-democrats-green-new-deal-eu-europe-technically-feasible-environment-progress/|title=Green Deal, Greener World|last=Valatsas|first=Dimitris|website=Foreign Policy|language=en-US|access-date=2020-01-20|archive-date=January 6, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200106094733/https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/12/17/united-states-democrats-green-new-deal-eu-europe-technically-feasible-environment-progress/|url-status=live}}

On the same day, freshman congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez launched a resolution to create a committee on the Green New Deal.{{cite news|url=https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2018/11/14/18094452/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-nancy-pelosi-protest-climate-change-2020|title=Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is already pressuring Nancy Pelosi on climate change|last=Roberts|first=David|date=November 15, 2018|work=Vox|access-date=December 2, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181128151207/https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2018/11/14/18094452/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-nancy-pelosi-protest-climate-change-2020|archive-date=November 28, 2018|url-status=live}} Following this, several candidates came out supporting a "Green New Deal", including Deb Haaland, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Antonio Delgado.{{cite news|url=https://www.commondreams.org/news/2018/11/07/saving-planet-green-new-deal-proves-popular-climate-hawks-celebrate-midterm|title=Saving Planet With 'Green New Deal' Proves Popular as Climate Hawks Celebrate Midterm Victories|last=Corbett|first=Jessica|date=November 7, 2018|work=Common Dreams|access-date=November 13, 2018|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181113075856/https://www.commondreams.org/news/2018/11/07/saving-planet-green-new-deal-proves-popular-climate-hawks-celebrate-midterm|archive-date=November 13, 2018|url-status=live}} They were joined in the following weeks by Reps.

Besides increasing state-sponsored jobs, this Green New Deal also sought to address poverty by aiming much of the improvements in "frontline and vulnerable communities" which include poor and disadvantaged people. The resolution included calls for universal health care, increased minimum wages, and preventing monopolies.{{cite web|url=https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5729033/Green-New-Deal-FINAL.pdf|title=Resolution: Recognizing the duty of the Federal Government to create a Green New Deal|date=February 7, 2019|publisher=United States House of Representatives|access-date=February 7, 2019|archive-date=February 8, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190208225331/https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5729033/Green-New-Deal-FINAL.pdf|url-status=live}}

{{main|United States House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis}}

Various perspectives emerged in late 2018 as to whether to form a committee dedicated to climate, what powers such a committee might be granted, and whether the committee would be specifically tasked with developing a Green New Deal.

Incoming House committee chairs Frank Pallone and Peter DeFazio indicated a preference for handling these matters in the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.{{Cite news|url=https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/419117-dems-rally-for-green-new-deal|title=Dems rally for Green New Deal|last=Cama|first=Timothy|date=November 30, 2018|work=The Hill|access-date=December 2, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181201051457/https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/419117-dems-rally-for-green-new-deal|archive-date=December 1, 2018|url-status=live|language=en}} Congressman Pallone has committed to the development of renewable fuel storage and “more federal funding to help offset the lack of investment from the private sector in electricity storage research, development, and demonstration” and the need to develop a “federal energy storage roadmap, similar to those established by some states, in order to increase coordination among the various private initiatives, the national labs, and other federal agencies.”{{Cite web |title=Home |url=https://www.afslaw.com |access-date=2025-05-08 |website=ArentFox Schiff |language=en}}

In contrast, Representative Ro Khanna thought that creating a Select Committee specifically dedicated to a Green New Deal would be a "very commonsense idea", based on the recent example of the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming (2007–2011), which had proven effective in developing a 2009 bill for cap-and-trade legislation.

Proposals for the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis did not contain "Green New Deal" language and lacked the powers desired by Green New Deal proponents, such as the ability to subpoena documents or depose witnesses.{{cite web|url=https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/423492-house-dems-formalize-climate-committee-plans-without-green-new-deal|title=House Dems formalize climate committee plans without Green New Deal language|last=Cama|first=Timothy|date=January 2, 2019|website=The Hill|language=en|access-date=January 19, 2019|archive-date=January 18, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190118234516/https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/423492-house-dems-formalize-climate-committee-plans-without-green-new-deal|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url-access=limited|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/12/house-democrats-form-new-committee-climate-crisis/579109/|title=Democrats Establish a New House 'Climate Crisis' Committee|last=Meyer|first=Robinson|date=December 28, 2018|website=The Atlantic|language=en-US|access-date=January 19, 2019|archive-date=July 25, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190725085237/https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/12/house-democrats-form-new-committee-climate-crisis/579109/|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/01/10/climate-change-chair-new-house-panel-presses-dramatic-response/2465450002/|title=Climate change: Meet the Florida congresswoman leading the House charge|website=USA Today|language=en|access-date=January 19, 2019|archive-date=January 20, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190120042956/https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/01/10/climate-change-chair-new-house-panel-presses-dramatic-response/2465450002/|url-status=live}}

On January 10, 2019, a letter signed by 626 organizations in support of a Green New Deal was sent to all members of Congress. It called for measures such as "an expansion of the Clean Air Act; a ban on crude oil exports; an end to fossil fuel subsidies and fossil fuel leasing; and a phase-out of all gasoline-powered vehicles by 2040."{{cite web|url-access=limited|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/01/first-fight-about-democrats-climate-green-new-deal/580543/|title=The Green New Deal Hits Its First Major Snag|last=Meyer|first=Robinson|date=January 18, 2019|website=The Atlantic|language=en-US|access-date=January 19, 2019|archive-date=October 6, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191006165050/https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/01/first-fight-about-democrats-climate-green-new-deal/580543/|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://earther.gizmodo.com/more-than-600-environmental-groups-just-backed-ocasio-c-1831640541|title=More Than 600 Environmental Groups Just Backed Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal|last=Kahn|first=Brian|website=Earther|date=January 10, 2019 |language=en-US|access-date=January 19, 2019|archive-date=January 19, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190119121603/https://earther.gizmodo.com/more-than-600-environmental-groups-just-backed-ocasio-c-1831640541|url-status=live}}

The letter also indicated that signatories would "vigorously oppose ... market-based mechanisms and technology options such as carbon and emissions trading and offsets, carbon capture and storage, nuclear power, waste-to-energy and biomass energy."

Six major environmental groups did not sign on to the letter: the Sierra Club, the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Environmental Defense Fund, Mom's Clean Air Force, Environment America, and the Audubon Society.{{Cite magazine|url=https://newrepublic.com/article/152885/biggest-green-groups-cold-feet-green-new-deal|title=Some of the Biggest Green Groups Have Cold Feet Over the 'Green New Deal'|last=Atkin|first=Emily|date=January 15, 2019|magazine=The New Republic|access-date=January 19, 2019|issn=0028-6583|archive-date=January 18, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190118122810/https://newrepublic.com/article/152885/biggest-green-groups-cold-feet-green-new-deal|url-status=live}}

An article in The Atlantic quoted Greg Carlock, who prepared "a different Green New Deal plan for the left-wing think tank Data for Progress" as responding, "There is no scenario produced by the IPCC or the UN where we hit mid-century decarbonization without some kind of carbon capture."

The MIT Technology Review responded to the letter with an article titled, "Let's Keep the Green New Deal Grounded in Science". The MIT article states that, although the letter refers to the "rapid and aggressive action" needed to prevent the 1.5 ˚C of warming specified in the UN climate panel's latest report, simply acknowledging the report's recommendation is not sufficient. If the letter's signatories start from a position where the options of carbon pricing, carbon capture for fossil plants, hydropower, and nuclear power, are not even on the table for consideration, there may be no feasible technical means to reach the necessary 1.5 ˚C climate goal.{{cite web|url=https://www.technologyreview.com/s/612780/lets-keep-the-green-new-deal-grounded-in-science/|title=Let's keep the Green New Deal grounded in science|last=Temple|first=James|website=MIT Technology Review|language=en|access-date=January 19, 2019|archive-date=January 23, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190123002731/https://www.technologyreview.com/s/612780/lets-keep-the-green-new-deal-grounded-in-science/|url-status=live}}

A report in Axios suggested that the letter's omission of a carbon tax, which has been supported by moderate Republicans, did not mean that signatories would oppose carbon pricing.{{cite web|url=https://www.axios.com/green-new-deal-house-climate-change-policy-51cffa92-a78f-43bf-9753-48e8bbaaacbe.html|title=Environmental groups pressure House for "visionary" measures to support the Green New Deal|last=Geman|first=Ben|date=January 10, 2019|website=Axios|language=en|access-date=January 19, 2019|archive-date=January 19, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190119121204/https://www.axios.com/green-new-deal-house-climate-change-policy-51cffa92-a78f-43bf-9753-48e8bbaaacbe.html|url-status=live}}

The Director of the Center for Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy at George Mason University was quoted as saying, "As long as organizations hold onto a rigid set of ideas about what the solution is, it's going to be hard to make progress ... And that's what worries me."

Many who support some goals of the Green New Deal express doubt about feasibility of one or more of its parts. John P. Holdren, former science advisor to Obama, thinks the 2030 goal is too optimistic, saying that 2045 or 2050 would be more realistic.{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/21/us/politics/green-new-deal.html |title=A New Deal at Once Possible and Problematic |first1=Lisa |last1=Friedman |first2=Trip |last2=Gabriel |newspaper=The New York Times |date=February 21, 2019 |page=A1 |access-date=March 11, 2019 |quote=Holdren, who is now a professor of environmental policy at Harvard University, said the Green New Deal's timeline of achieving that goal around 2030 is not feasible.

Many members of the Green party have also attacked the plan due to its cutting of multiple parts of their plan, such as the elimination of nuclear power and jobs guarantee, and the changing of the goal from a one hundred percent clean, renewable energy economy by 2030 to the elimination of the U.S. carbon footprint by 2030.

Paul Bledsoe of the Progressive Policy Institute, the think tank affiliated with the conservative Democratic Leadership Council, expressed concern that setting unrealistic "aspirational" goals of 100% renewable energy could undermine "the credibility of the effort" against climate change.

Economist Edward Barbier, who developed the "Global Green New Deal" proposal for the United Nations Environment Programme in 2009, opposes "a massive federal jobs program," saying "The government would end up doing more and more of what the private sector and industry should be doing." Barbier prefers carbon pricing, such as a carbon tax or cap-and-trade system, in order to "address distortions in the economy that are holding back private sector innovation and investments in clean energy."{{cite web|url=https://insideclimatenews.org/news/03012019/green-new-deal-climate-solutions-jobs-2018-year-review-ocasio-cortez-castor-sunrise-movement-congress|title=New Congress Members See Climate Solutions and Jobs in a Green New Deal|last=Lavelle|first=Marianne|date=January 3, 2019|website=InsideClimate News|language=en-US|access-date=January 19, 2019|archive-date=January 19, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190119230950/https://insideclimatenews.org/news/03012019/green-new-deal-climate-solutions-jobs-2018-year-review-ocasio-cortez-castor-sunrise-movement-congress|url-status=live}}

Although the Green New Deal is often presented as a left-wing proposal, criticism of it has come from left-wing commentators who have argued that the Green New Deal fails to tackle the real cause of the climate emergency, namely the concept of unending growth and consumption inherent in capitalism, and is instead an attempt to greenwash capitalism.Bryan Dyne and Barry Grey, 'The fallacies and evasions of the Green New Deal' in World Socialist Website (online journal), March 5, 2019 Left wing critics of the Green New Deal argue that it is not the monetization of Green policies and practices within capitalism that are necessary, but an anti-capitalist adoption of policies for de-growth.Stephen Graham, Green Capitalism': a critical review of the literature (Part III)' in RS21'' (online journal), March 16, 2019

Similar criticisms, particularly held by indigenous communities, have been expressed in terms of the potential for “green colonialism” under the Green New Deal. The negative repercussions of the development and promotion of clean technology to reduce carbon emissions will particularly affect Global South nations, perpetuating ideals of colonial dispossession in the name of decarbonization.{{Cite journal |last1=Andreucci |first1=Diego |last2=López |first2=Gustavo García |last3=Zografos |first3=Christos |last4=Conde |first4=Marta |date=2025-03-01 |title=Political ecologies of the Green New Deal: Critiques, contentions and radical appropriations |journal=Political Geography |volume=117 |pages=103256 |doi=10.1016/j.polgeo.2024.103256 |issn=0962-6298|doi-access=free }} Rather than addressing the underlying systemic roots of environmental degradation and climate change, these communities argue that the prioritization of the development of clean technology may restructure the problem and inflict environmental burden on other global nations. Indigenous concern regarding the Green New Deal’s potential to further “Eurocentric and techno optimistic character of mainstream green capitalism” suggests the need for reparations, structural reform, sovereignty, and self-determination for all people, particularly these indigenous communities

Klein relates her meeting with Greta Thunberg in the opening essay in which she discusses the entrance of young people into those speaking out for climate awareness and change. She supports the Green New Deal throughout the book and in the final essay she discusses the 2020 U.S. election saying "The stakes of the election are almost unbearably high. It's why I wrote the book and decided to put it out now and why I'll be doing whatever I can to help push people toward supporting a candidate with the most ambitious Green New Deal platform—so that they win the primaries and then the general."{{cite journal |last1=Feeley |first1=Lynne |title=Naomi Klein Knows a Green New Deal Is Our Only Hope Against Climate Catastrophe |url=https://www.thenation.com/article/naomi-klein-green-new-deal-book-interview/ |journal=The Nation |access-date=September 21, 2019 |date=September 10, 2019 |archive-date=September 21, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190921203253/https://www.thenation.com/article/naomi-klein-green-new-deal-book-interview/ |url-status=live }}{{cite web |last1=Doctorow |first1=Cory |title=Review: Naomi Klein's 'On Fire' urges us to quit hitting the snooze button on climate change |url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/books/story/2019-09-19/on-fire-by-naomi-klein-green-new-deal |website=Los Angeles Times |access-date=September 21, 2019 |date=September 19, 2019 |archive-date=September 20, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190920215554/https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/books/story/2019-09-19/on-fire-by-naomi-klein-green-new-deal |url-status=live }}{{Cite news|url=https://www.truthdig.com/articles/naomi-klein-on-the-urgency-of-a-green-new-deal-for-everyone/|title=Naomi Klein on the Urgency of a 'Green New Deal' for Everyone|last=LaChance|first=Naomi|date=November 30, 2018|work=Truthdig: Expert Reporting, Current News, Provocative Columnists|access-date=December 2, 2018|language=en-US|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181203055623/https://www.truthdig.com/articles/naomi-klein-on-the-urgency-of-a-green-new-deal-for-everyone/|archive-date=December 3, 2018|url-status=live}}

In 2021, commentators noted that early climate-related executive actions by President Biden, such as re-joining the Paris Agreement, have much in common with the 2019 GND proposed by Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Markey. According to Mike Krancer, while he sees the Biden Plan For A Clean Energy Revolution And Environmental Justice and the 2019 proposal as very similar, a key difference is that the Biden plan includes a prominent role for carbon capture and storage technology.{{cite news

In August 2022, President Joe Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act, which contains the largest climate investment by the U.S. federal government in history.{{Cite news |last1=Vazquez |first1=Maegan |last2=Judd |first2=Donald |title=Biden signs Inflation Reduction Act into law |url=https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/16/politics/biden-inflation-reduction-act-signing/index.html |work=CNN |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220816235717/https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/16/politics/biden-inflation-reduction-act-signing/index.html |archive-date=16 August 2022 |url-status=live }}

On April 20, 2021, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, Sen. Markey and fellow Democratic lawmakers reintroduced the Green New Deal Resolution at the National Mall. The resolution reaffirms the threat produced by climate change and the responsibility of the US to recommit to meeting the emission goals outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.{{cite news |title=Ahead of Biden's climate summit, lawmakers relaunch 'Green New Deal' |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/us/ahead-bidens-climate-summit-lawmakers-relaunch-green-new-deal-2021-04-20/ |work=Reuters |date=20 April 2021 |access-date=December 6, 2021 |archive-date=December 6, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211206185555/https://www.reuters.com/world/us/ahead-bidens-climate-summit-lawmakers-relaunch-green-new-deal-2021-04-20/ |url-status=live }}

In April 2021, The Red Nation Indigenous advocacy group released the Red Deal. The Red Deal is a proposal designed to supplement the Green New Deal, and incorporates a range of anti-capitalism and Indigenous decolonisation proposals designed to halt climate change.CARRIÓ, M. S.; COOPER, D. The Red Deal: Decolonising Climate Action. Architectural Design, [s. l.], v. 92, n. 1, p. 78–85, 2022. {{doi|10.1002/ad.2776}} Disponível em: https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=asu&AN=154483096&site=eds-live&scope=site.

The framework of the Red Deal relies on an understanding of climate change as intrinsically connected to colonization and capitalist economics. According to the Red Deal, an American history of imperialism and industrial development has led to an excessive and destructive reliance on the Earth’s natural resources which must be countered by reevaluating these systems and their modern implications. The Red Deal operates under an anti-capitalist framework, addressing root causes of environmental injustice and other interrelated areas such as prison abolition, demilitarization, Indigenous treaty rights, land restoration, sovereignty, self-determination, decolonization, and liberation. These areas of focus criticize extractive processes and violence that limit the sovereignty of Indigenous peoples and marginalized communities.{{Cite web |last=Estes |first=Nick |title=A Red Deal |url=https://jacobin.com/2019/08/red-deal-green-new-deal-ecosocialism-decolonization-indigenous-resistance-environment |website=Jacobin}}

Framers of the Red Deal call for revolutionary resistance that involves caretaking and responsibility of human and non-human relations. It involves a collaborative effort, addressing various communities such as indigenous and nonindigenous people, activists, scholars, and those seeking to develop an understanding of anticolonial and anticapitalistic environmentalism. This framework extends the vision of the Green New Deal by centering indigenous movements against capitalism and colonialism as crucial to the mission of the Green New Deal.

This proposal centers indigenous perspective and insight to facilitate environmental justice which is a core principle of the Green New Deal. It focuses on the concept of Indigeneity which recognizes the unique perspectives and experiences that have shaped indigenous relationship with the land, centering indigenous perspective as crucial in addressing climate change and environmental injustice. Rather than focus on Indigeneity as an identity, the framers of the Red Deal argue that Indigenous relations to the environment provide a framework for climate change policy such as the Green New Deal.

The Red Deal differs from the Green New Deal in that the Green New Deal often promotes new development and technology aimed at emission reduction while the Red Deal recognizes that this development cannot contribute to meaningful change so long as it exists within colonial and capitalist systems. The Red New Deal offers critiques of the Green New Deal in this sense, contending that ownership and exploitation cannot solve broader issues of environmental degradation and climate change.

After the Green New Deal idea was proposed by Thomas Friedman in 2007 and developed by the British Green New Deal Group, a plan for an international green new deal was advanced by the United Nations. On October 22, 2008, UNEP's Executive Director Achim Steiner unveiled a Global Green New Deal initiative as a response to the Great Recession, aiming to create jobs in "green" industries, thus boosting the world economy and curbing climate change at the same time.{{cite news |first=Paul |last=Eccleston |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/earthnews/3353698/UN-announces-green-New-Deal-plan-to-rescue-world-economies.html |title=UN announces green "New Deal" plan to rescue world economies |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120922050440/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/earthnews/3353698/UN-announces-green-New-Deal-plan-to-rescue-world-economies.html |archive-date=September 22, 2012 |work=The Daily Telegraph |date=October 22, 2008 }} The UN continued to promote the global green new deal into 2009 both to the G20{{cite web

Yet despite the success of Brown and others in bringing about a short lived worldwide return to Keynesian stimulus policies, the focus of extra government spending was on supporting existing economic activity, rather than speeding the transition to the green economy. In 2019, United Nations officials and others once again called for a global green new deal.{{cite web

In August 2022, Congress adopted the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in order to invest in energy security, clean energy, and affordable healthcare.U.S. Senate Democrats. "Inflation Reduction Act: One Page Summary." Senate Democrats,  https://www.democrats.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/inflation_reduction_act_one_page_summary.pdf. According to Guri Bang of Norwegian University of Life  Sciences, the IRA is structured to utilize economic incentives rather than the implementation of  regulatory policies in order to combine economic and climate related policies.Bang, Guri. "The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act: Climate Policy as Economic Crisis Response." Environmental Politics, vol. 33, no. 1, 2024, pp. 1–22. Taylor & Francis, https://doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2024.2437886. The IRA allocates $369 billion in public spending for over 50 programs aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by  approximately 40% from 2005 levels by 2030 in the US. In order to address congressional opposition, the implementation of the IRA involved compromise such as the inclusion of leases for fossil fuel  extraction.

This legislation will facilitate the progression of the Green New Deal in achieving its goals related to clean energy development, environmental justice, and action against climate change.Gerasimchuk, Ivetta. “The US Inflation Reduction Act: Is It a Green Deal?” Sciences Po Paris School of International Affairs, 25 Mar. 2025, https://www.sciencespo.fr/psia/chair-sustainable-development/2025/03/25/the-us-inflation-reduction-act-is-it-a- green-deal/. The IRA contributes  significantly to the Green New Deal through federal funding, providing access to resources such as decarbonization and workforce development to local governments, indigenous communities, etc.Office of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Green New Deal Implementation Guide. 20 Mar. 2024, https://ocasio- cortez.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/ocasio-cortez.house.gov/files/evo-media- document/2024.03.20%20GND%20Implementation%20Guide.pdf. Supporters of the IRA argue that this legislation is substantial in serving as a foundation for the long-term implementation of the Green New Deal.

However, on January 20th, 2025, President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14154, “Unleashing American Energy” which includes the revocation of the Inflation Reduction Act and the Green New Deal in sections 4 and 7.The White House. “Unleashing American Energy.” The White House, Jan. 2025, https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential- actions/2025/01/unleashing-american-energy/. There is current uncertainty as to how this will be implemented, how this will impact the funding of clean energy initiatives such as the Green New Deal, and the implications of this Executive Order on the  renewable energy sector. The administration has publicly denounced efforts related to environmental justice investments and decarbonization due to an increasing push for domestic energy expansion, limiting the implementation of efforts under the Green New Deal. The expansion of domestic fossil fuel development and rollbacks of environmental protections contradict the efforts of the Green New Deal.

Legal experts have questioned the legality of this Executive Order, and express concern regarding the environmental implications of the acceleration of fracking. For example, Andres Restrepo, senior attorney of the Sierra Club, has stated his concern that “A huge amount of the work that has been spent to protect the public health and welfare will be erased.”Kiley Bense, “New Trump Administration Directives to Repeal Environmental Regulations En Masse Make ‘No Sense,’ Legal Experts Say - inside Climate News,” Inside Climate News, April 12, 2025, https://insideclimatenews.org/news/12042025/new-trump-administration-directives-to-repeal-environmental-regulations-en-masse-make-no-sense-legal-experts-say/ There is uncertainty regarding the practical implementation of “Unleashing American Energy,” especially in terms of the consequences this may have on the Green New Deal and related policy proposals.
