Launching a New Solution to De-risk Carbon Markets | The World Bank Group at COP29

High-integrity carbon markets have the potential to deliver an impactful triple bottom-line – imperative climate action, development outcomes, and private capital mobilization. Unfortunately, these markets are suffering from a significant trust deficit. For over 35 years, MIGA’s guarantees have bred trust. Join us for the launch of MIGA’s letter of authorization template administered by the WBG Guarantee Platform, a public good for securing insurability rights and standardizing host government commitments to investors.

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by Dirk Philipsen

DEFINITION of 'Gross Domestic Product -GDP' The monetary value of all the finished goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific time period, though GDP is usually calculated on an annual basis.

GDP is seen as the universal yardstick of progress and the highest goal of politics. But economic historian Dirk Philipsen argues that the world can no longer afford GDP rule, and it’s time now for a different measure.
Economic historian Dirk Philipsen shows how the history of GDP reveals unique opportunities to fashion smarter goals and measures, and explores a possible roadmap for a future that advances quality of life rather than indiscriminate growth.

Today, increasing GDP is the highest goal of politics. But a finite planet cannot sustain blind and indefinite expansion. If we consider future generations equal to our own, replacing the GDP regime is the ethical imperative of our times. Published on Aug 2, 2015
