RT null T1 Building Back Better: The Role of Green Fiscal Policies - Policy Brief A1 United Nations Environment Programme, K1 fiscal policy K1 COVID-19 K1 green economy K1 public expenditure SN Not Available YR 2020 FD 2020 LK https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/32923 UL https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/32923 NO The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the many fragilities of our economies, and deepened existing inequalities, while highlighting the need for resilience, innovation, and cooperation in our societies. The immediate priority is on emergency measures to address the health crisis and its economic fall-out; but greening recovery efforts can help nations build back better after the pandemic to increase resilience to future crises by ensuring a healthy environment that backs healthy people. Green fiscal policies can play a key role in countries’ recovery efforts by removing inefficiencies in public expenditures and raising additional fiscal revenues which can be directed towards immediate COVID-19 relief measures while supporting medium- to long-term investments and planning for a more sustainable, resilient and inclusive future.
