Instead of offering unsustainable and environmentally damaging subsidies for fossil fuels, public finance should encourage the development of new industries and businesses that are emerging in the course of the low-carbon transition. The industries of the future, which will create jobs that last, are those that will use scarce resources efficiently, and that can pay the real environmental and health costs of the resources that they use.
与其为化石燃料提供不可持续并危害环境的补贴，公共财政应该鼓励发展新兴低碳型的产业和企业。而能创造可持续工作职位的未来产业将是那些可以有效利用稀缺资源、同时承担得起这些资源背后承载的真实环境和健康成本的产业。
