Inclusive Green Recovery: An essential post-Covid-19 paradigm shift to recover better
The report presents the findings of the EMG Consultative Process on COVID-19 and the Environment and sets out a common UN perspective on an inclusive green recovery from the pandemic. It defines the key objectives and building blocks of green recovery, identifies priority areas for investment, and outlines the roles of governments, the private sector, international organizations and other actors in advancing a greener, more inclusive and rights-based recovery.
The report also examines the UN system’s particular role in supporting this transition, taking stock of initiatives launched during the pandemic and identifying opportunities to strengthen coherence, collaboration and leadership across the UN system. An accompanying inventory maps UN green recovery products against the report’s building blocks and the Sustainable Development Goals.
