Green Recovery

As of April 2020, 96% of sizeable fiscal measures implemented by G20 nations in response to COVID-19 were estimated to maintain “business as usual” or to increase net GHG emissions, while only 4% were green policies with the potential to reduce GHG emissions in the long term. A green recovery will lead to job creation, greater security, and a more resilient society equipped to deal with future climate shocks.

In this context, it's crucial for businesses, governments, and civil society to work together to find common solutions and take decisive action. Through its Centres, the World Economic Forum integrates public-private efforts to achieve greater impact.
