13. Globally
A race to invest……
A “headstart” on renewables and other climate-related business
Global revenues from climate-related businesses rose by 75 percent in 2008 to $530 billion
Climate-related business revenue could exceed $2 trillion by 2020
Energy efficiency recorded the highest investment return at 30%
Keeping up the pace…
Energy efficiency will receive $184 billion (53%) of the $350 billion in
global green stimulus funds
