– Wealthier nations are asked to be more economically generous and helpful to poorer nations, with international assistance and loans for sustainable development, ecological regeneration, and climate solutions.
– Relieve poorer nations of excessive debt problems, by decreasing the interest rates on their loans, and by a generous restructuring of debt.
– Relieve excessive dept by debt-for-nature swaps, which trades debt for more ecological conservation and climate-improving projects or policies.

– Wealthier nations are encouraged to donate 5% of their annual GNP into a World Fund for helping poorer nations and communities become ecologically sustainable, climate helpful, and more economically independent, secure and prosperous. Wealthier nations could ask the wealthiest 5% of individuals, families and corporations to pay most of this national donation to the World Fund, by a progressive income, wealth, property and assets tax.
– Private individuals, groups, businesses, multinational corporations and private-equity investment funds are encouraged to voluntarily give Donations (a fixed $ amount or a percentage of assets) or give other forms of free assistance to nations, regions, communities, or projects of their choice.
And governments can 'deduct' these private voluntary donations from those respective wealth or capital-gains taxes.

– Everyone willing to work should have opportunities for fair-paying work, in order to achieve their economic security or advancement, and for nations to eliminate unemployment and achieve full employment.
– If sufficient job opportunities are not available from the private-sector (capitalism), then the government (national, regional, or local) should organise/initiate 'public services and projects' that are socially-beneficial and/or ecologically-beneficial, in order to employ all people seeking paid work (who could not find work in the private-sector).
– This will effectively eliminate all unemployment of those seeking work, and in addition this will: (a) benefit the local community, the regional infrastructure, and/or the regional ecology; while also (b) eliminate the public need to provide direct economic assistance for the unemployed.
– In order to finance these public services and projects, governments (national, regional, and local) will need to acquire sufficient revenue from progressive taxation on income, wealth and property; and government funding (for poorer nations) can also come from international aide assistance and from international bank or investment loans.
– This government public money can then be used to pay for the social & ecological beneficial services and projects, which includes paying the employed workers and maintaining full employment in every community and city.
– Regions, communities and cities with the most needs and the most unemployed can be specially prioritized and targeted for government grants, subsidies and low-interest (or zero-interest) loans – given to regional and local public services/projects and also to new start-up private businesses or to worker-coop businesses – in order to increase the local employment in community-benefiting jobs that serve social and ecological needs.
