The International Energy Agency shared plans, last month, for a green recovery.  It said we need to change how we generate energy and consume it.   We should focus on using solar power and wind, make buildings and industries more energy efficient, and the modernize electricity grids.

As governments spend more than $9 trillion to reinvigorate economies over the next months the priority should not be on rescuing the high carbon economy, such as fossil fuel companies, but on the green economy and jobs of the future.

Carbon emissions fell by 17% in April but are already starting to go back up.  Experts say we have 6 months to avoid a complete rebound.  And they warn that we need to keep emission levels falling in order to avert some of the worst catastrophes to come.

The good news, investment in a sustainable recovery plan would create almost 9 million new green jobs each year.
