On 1 July 2020 at 15:00 (CEST), the World Resources Institute (WRI) is hosting a webinar on 'Getting to Net Zero: How Climate Action Can Accelerate COVID-19 Recovery'.
The COVID-19 and climate crises are monumental challenges that must be addressed in tandem. Governments must use all the tools in their toolbox to protect lives and livelihoods from these dual challenges and build safer, more sustainable, and more inclusive societies. The road to COP26 remains a key opportunity for countries to lay the groundwork for a brighter future by coming forward with ambitious national climate commitments and setting goals to reach net-zero emissions over the coming decades.
During this event, speakers will showcase concrete opportunities for policymakers to use nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and long-term strategies (LTSs) to accelerate recovery from COVID-19 and protect people from the alarming consequences of climate change.
