Setting a structural agenda for a green economic recovery from COVID-19

The document argues for a structural green recovery agenda that addresses the divergent economic trajectories of the global north, south, east, and west following the COVID-19 pandemic. It emphasizes the need for a combination of structural responses and local solutions to address systemic challenges and diverse national experiences, aiming to avoid the mistakes of the 2008-10 financial crisis by integrating green priorities into long-term policy.

• The global recovery from the pandemic is characterized by high uncertainty and divergent economic paths across different regions due to varying access to vaccines, treatments, and mitigation strategies.
• Achieving a green recovery is complicated by shifting political priorities, including inflation and regional conflict in Ukraine, alongside ongoing health and economic crises.
• A successful green recovery requires a dual approach consisting of structural responses and local solutions to account for the systemic nature of the challenge and the variety of national experiences.
