Friends and Colleagues, I’m excited to announce that a new study on green recovery during the covid-19 pandemic I conducted with Scot Miller and Johannes Urpelainen is now out in Nature.
Based on an extensive analysis of G20 fiscal stimulus packages between February 2020 and December 2021, we find that only 6 percent of fiscal stimulus was dedicated to projects likely to lead to emissions reductions. Far from ‘building back better’, the vast majority of funds was spent on building back the status quo. Despite rhetoric suggesting otherwise, governments have not intuitively acted on the insight that green stimulus can combine economic growth and climate objectives.
