Boosting a Green Recovery in the Post Covid-19 Crisis

The opportunity for a green recovery in the post Covid-19 crisis requires long-term commitments and policies. The G20 is in an ideal position to facilitate constructive dialogue among advanced and emerging economies about re-orienting investment and fiscal action towards a new development paradigm.

The Italian-led G20 can play a key role to promote the necessary global financial governance reforms and, by establishing an inclusive dialogue with African countries early on, it can increase the chances of an ambitious outcome at the 26th Conference of the Parties (COP26) that will aim for an agreement on the most divisive climate finance issues, with significant implications for Sub-Saharan Africa.
