E3G and GIZ are excited to share a new publication outlining a practical framework for setting the course towards a sustainable, inclusive and resilient transformation in countries’
efforts for economic recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic. It is the first of the three products in the series Green Recovery for Practitioners, particularly developed for the NDC Partnership's Economic Advisory Initiative.
This is a joint effort by the IKI Support Project for the Implementation of the Paris Agreement (SPA), the EUROCLIMA+ programme and E3G. The series aims to provide insights on how green recovery planning can be approached and what factors can contribute to successful implementation as well as a collection of good practices.
Green recovery is a widely used term for packages of measures addressing the social, economic and political consequences of the Covid-19 crisis in a way that sets the course for a shift towards sustainable and inclusive development, biodiversity protection, resilience and climate neutrality. Such packages entail particularly medium- to long-term measures, as in investments and institutional changes that are made beyond short-term stabilization measures.
This paper provides a practical framework that captures the key elements of a green recovery to inform countries seeking a sustainable, inclusive and resilient recovery. It first introduces the concept of a green recovery, setting out the urgency and benefits of bringing this topic into the work of economy, finance and planning ministries. It further breaks down the different components of a green recovery, providing practical lists of stakeholders, tools and outcomes. These also feature exemplary approaches for reforming and aligning strategies and policies in the areas of: national planning; economic, monetary, and fiscal tools; just transition and employment; local action; nature-based solutions; international cooperation and financing.
Have a look inside, to learn more about the different elements to consider for green recovery planning, steps that countries are already taking to build forward better, and to understand why these measures can set the course towards a society-wide, sustainable, inclusive and resilient transformation.
