* Globalization has been a huge force for worldwide prosperity, and
historically, prosperity has meant more greenhouse gas emissions. But the
only practical response to greenhouse gas emissions is to decouple economic
growth from emissions.
* Innovation that drives the cost of zero‐carbon technologies below
traditional production approaches is the key to that—and the innovation
effort spans the globe.
* Trade further drives down the cost of zero‐carbon approaches and ensures
everyone can benefit. Tariffs on zero‐carbon products and Buy American
provisions are bad for the climate.
* Migration will provide the workforce that the rich world needs to build
zero‐carbon infrastructure. Global finance will support the investment for
infrastructure in developing countries.
* Globalization helps poorer countries adapt to climate change, particularly
because prosperity promotes resilience.
* Global agreements would speed progress toward a low‐carbon planet, but
global markets are simply essential.
