Global Stimulus Principles

The paper argues that recovery investments from the COVID-19 crisis should be strategically aligned to build a more resilient, low-carbon economy. It outlines four guiding principles: prioritizing job creation and economic growth, supporting public health and air pollution reduction, enhancing economic and climate resilience, and prioritizing decarbonization to meet Paris Agreement temperature goals.

• The document proposes four guiding principles for global stimulus and recovery efforts following the COVID-19 pandemic: prioritizing investments for job creation and economic growth; supporting technologies that improve public health and reduce air pollution; enhancing resilience to unexpected shocks across economic, energy, and climate systems; and prioritizing investments that align with the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global temperature rise to well below 2.0°C, with efforts toward 1.5°C.
