Global Marshall Plan

Global Marshall Plan

The Global Marshall Plan is a plan first devised by Former American Vice-President Al Gore in his bestselling book "Earth in the Balance" which gives specific ideas on how to save the global environment.

Gore states: "The model of the Marshall Plan can be of great help. For example, a Global Marshall Plan must focus on strategic goals and emphasize actions and programs that are likely to remove the bottlenecks presently inhibiting the healthy functioning of the global economy. The new global economy must be an inclusive system that does not leave entire regions behind. The new plan will require the wealthy nations to allocate money for transferring environmentally helpful technologies to the Third World and to help impoverished nations achieve a stable population and a new pattern of sustainable economic progress. To work, however, any such effort will also require wealthy nations to make a transition themselves that will be in some ways more wrenching than that of the Third World."

Global Marshall Plan: Five strategic goals "In my view, five strategic goals must direct and inform our efforts to save the global environment":

* stabilizing of world population
* the rapid development of environmentally appropriate technologies
* a comprehensive change in the economic "rules of the road" by which we measure the impact of our decisions on the environment
* negotiation & approval of a new generation of international agreements
* a cooperative plan for educating the world's citizens about our global environment.

The idea is based on the post-WWII Marshall Plan that saw the United States send billions of dollars to Europe to rebuild their war shattered economies.
