As the global economy rebounded in 2021 and carbon emissions rose to an all-time high, countries are pivoting towards a whole-of-economy approach when it comes to reducing emissions and adapting to climate change. This pivot comes as governments and fiscal institutions are increasingly aware of the risks climate change poses to rebuilding after COVID-19 and achieving broad-based economic growth. Left unaddressed, the impacts of climate change may push as many as 132 million people into poverty by 2030, as well as internally displace up to 216 million people by 2050.

Join us as we explore how a whole-of-economy approach can support a green recovery from COVID-19, create an enabling environment for ambitious climate action, and deliver on the outcomes of the Glasgow Compact from COP26. We will be joined by country representatives who will speak about the opportunities and challenges for implementing this approach to embed climate priorities in macroeconomic and fiscal frameworks. 

This event is part of the Green Recovery Dialogue series, a series of high-level events that seeks to elevate the discussion around how investing in green recovery efforts can accelerate low-carbon, climate resilient development.
