The Green New Deal is a package of policy proposals that aims to address global warming, and financial crises. It echoes the New Deal, the social and economic programs launched by US President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the wake of the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and the onset of the Great Depression.
The proposals of the Green New Deal generally echo the recommendations of UN-mandated organizations like ICLEI or the TEEB, of global NGOs, and of the Basel II and related monetary accords, especially as these relate to reforms to measurement of fundamental ecosystem risk and financial liabilities. The reinsurance industry and The Economist have also consistently expressed support for the general principles of consistent global carbon and emissions charges, for metrics of ecosystem destabilization risk and a generally high value on nature's services which underlie human valuation.
Several of the proposals have already been implemented in one or more G8 or G20 countries including Norway, South Korea, the UK, US and European Union. The financial proposals echo some already underway at the IMF, World Bank, BIS and ECB to better reflect ecosystem valuations and reduce systematic incentives to invest in "dirty" over "clean" industries.

Comin back keepin it real
Yes it's the new deal
I don't smoke the buddah
But i still listen to the
Hill
Gonna rise to the top
Gonna pursue with the crew
That's what we're gonna do
On and on til dawn
Or til i yawn
We're gonna wreck it
Outside of the club
Yo man come in and check it
Some skaboobidibobidi shit
That's gonna hit
Slammin and jammin and bammin
Are you understandin?
You only live once
So why are you so mad?
Many people would die
For half of what you have
You only live one time
So fuck it
Go ahead and buy it
Everybody sound that funky horn
Because that's the way
That i like it
Flowin with the rhyme
That's seepin' through your ear
Even though i throw it hard
You ain't got nothin' to fear
It's just the sweet sweet sound
Of the horn melody
We're keepin' the shit true
Yes, we live in reality
I got no one to impress
The way that dress
I just express
My feelings and emotions
No stress
I live life day by day
That's the way i can cope
No dope
In my vein
Or seepin' to the brain
Love the people
For who they are inside
Be aware of the beauty
They provide
On the outside
Television's tellin' me a dream
It's unclear to me
You know i just can't see
Deceit and lies
Is livin' in their eyes
Sittin' pretty makin' millions
While we struggle to get by
It's all good though
I musn't complain
I believe it's decided
