New Economy is a set of movements that aim to to modify or replace the 19th and 20th century capitalist economic systems, with alternative models whose goal is to more effectively attain the twin goals social justice and environmental sustainability. These models often also encompass socio-political reforms.
Social justice and environmental sustainability are linked, in that while poverty might inhibit some greater consumerism, it also leads to short termism (elephant hunting); deprivation of education and time to fully engage in the political process and democracy means that the few powerful are less accountable. Also often the health risks of degraded environment are felt the most by the poor.
