Did the Global COVID-19 Recovery Address Climate Adaptation and Resilience? An Analysis of Sixty-Seven Countries

This research paper, developed with the Global Resilience Partnership, analyzes whether 67 countries integrated climate adaptation and resilience into their public spending during the COVID-19 recovery process.

• The study identifies a paradox where the poorest and most vulnerable countries in the sample were the least likely to incorporate climate adaptation into their COVID-19 recovery measures.
• The paper notes that while previous analyses of COVID-19 recoveries have focused on 'green' or mitigation elements, there has been a lack of systematic consideration regarding the integration of climate adaptation and resilience.
