Develop a fund that would provide funding for the SCIF for these efforts, as well as public outreach, education, and recruitment.
Emerging Industries
The world faces increasing environmental pressures, including rising air and water pollution, climate change, biodiversity loss and waste generation. Numerous policies and initiatives have emerged at the international level to respond to these challenges, but more must be done to ensure a rapid green transition and a cleaner global environment. These changes will need to happen in a context of other major structural transformations, including economic convergence between developed and developing countries, rising urbanization, and the diffusion of automation and digitalization.
Innovation – the creation and diffusion of new ideas – is at the heart of the transition to a cleaner global environment. This includes not only technological innovation, but also innovation in economic and social systems and in lifestyles. Innovation is the main source of modern economic growth, which implies that the green transition is very compatible with long-term econonomic growth.
