Since a couple of years ago, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) is proposing to the world a new economic paradigm, known today as “Green Economy”.

If at that moment the so-called ‘New Deal’ was aimed at answering to the famous depression, today the ‘Green Global New Deal’ intends to address the “worst financial and economic crisis in ages”, as stated by UNEP’s document which announces this new deal (Barbier, 2009).
