An inclusive green recovery has emerged as one of the top policy solutions to the challenges posed by COVID-19. By accompanying economic stimulus with environmental regulatory and fiscal reforms, governments have the chance to build back in a new way.
This report presents policy frameworks for accelerating an inclusive green recovery. In addition to an overview of the current global status on green recovery, lessons learned are delineated to offer recommendations, especially in embedding, prioritizing and financing interventions.
In line with the 2022 United Nations Environment Assembly agenda, the report is focused particularly on sustainable consumption and production; resource efficiency, chemicals and waste; ecosystems and biodiversity management and protection; and environmental governance.
