The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is developing a Simulation Tool based on coupled system dynamics models for the different indicators of the Green Growth Index. As illustrated in this technical report, such models are very complex but, at the same time, extremely useful in exploring relevant scenarios on future implications of policy and investment decisions on green growth transition.
The year 2020 is a year unlike any other, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to severely hit countries, resulting in more than 70 million infected people globally, a million deaths, millions of unemployed people, and trillions of dollars pulled-out for emergency stimulus packages to rescue the economies. The full impact of the pandemic is still expanding and governments are under immense pressure not only to invest in COVID-19 recovery packages while facing budget shortfalls, rising debt, and declining tax revenues, but also to “green” these investments.
The report presents three routes to guide government responses towards a transformative economic reactivation, including sustainable development, decarbonisation, and governance. Additionally, it presents 57 public policy recommendations for eight sectors, spanning both rural and urban contexts, in order to pave the way towards a transformative reactivation in Latin America and the Caribbean.
This brief examines the COVID-19 recovery assistance for cities from key funders - national governments, Development Finance Institutions (DFIs), and the private sector and introduces the key trends that have been found.
This report, the first of three, provides a framework that helps adapt policy tools to promote circularity, material and energy efficiency and support sustainable markets for circular cars and services.
This report lays out a strategy for putting Americans back to work building a vibrant 21st century U.S. economy based on advanced technologies, good jobs, clean energy, climate safety, and economic security.
