Green Recovery for Practitioners - Fiscal Policies for a Sustainable, Inclusive and Resilient Transformation
While the Covid-19 pandemic has created unprecedented challenges for countries worldwide, it has also created opportunities for driving transformation through a green recovery. Finance ministries and fiscal policies play a crucial role in shaping this recovery. Up until now, substantial fiscal resources have been mobilised to tackle socio-economic impacts of the pandemic. However, recovery packages have tended to perpetuate existing trends in spending and do not close the investment gap to address the climate and biodiversity crises.
Looking at underlying challenges, country examples and practical steps for implementation, this report identifies four action areas for advancing green fiscal policies – as part of Covid-19 recovery and beyond:
- Reforming fiscal rules to tackle limited fiscal space
- Green public financial management frameworks to link fiscal, social, and ecological strategies
- Carbon pricing to induce long-term change
- Developing capacities and networks to integrate recovery efforts across fiscal and environmental spheres
A publication series for practitioners
This report is the third and final publication in the series Green Recovery for Practitioners which is developed in contribution to the NDC Partnership's Economic Advisory Initiative.
Part 1: The first report maps out key arguments in support of a green recovery and the various components, stakeholders, and instruments it might entail.
Part 2: The second report presents examples of 23 green recovery measures from more than 20 countries worldwide, highlighting different approaches and lessons learned particularly by developing and emerging economies.
The publication series is developed in a joint effort by the EU-funded EUROCLIMA+ programme, the BMU-funded IKI Support Project for the Implementation of the Paris Agreement (SPA) and IKI Support Project for the Design and Implementation of the New Global Biodiversity Framework (BioFrame), and E3G.

La nueva NDC de Chile se constituye en un instrumento relevante para la política climática del país. El reto ahora es pasar a su implementación y, para avanzar en ello, en el país persisten algunos desafíos importantes como: la institucionalización del marco de gobernanza y del uso de la evidencia científica como base para la toma de decisión; la definición de un plan de implementación, que incluya la identificación de las acciones prioritarias y de las necesidades de financiamiento; la repartición de las responsabilidades sectoriales; la instalación de un sistema de monitoreo, reporte y verificación robusto y confiable; los mecanismos para la participación del sector privado, gobiernos subnacionales y actores de la sociedad civil, entre otros.
The series aims to provide insights on how green recovery planning can be approached and what factors can contribute to successful implementation as well as a collection of good practices.
El presente proyecto se desarrolla en el contexto de la iniciativa Estrategia Nacional de Movilidad Sostenible y Programa Nacional de Movilidad Urbana para la Mitigación y Adaptación al Cambio Climático en Chile. Ambos instrumentos constituyen la Política Nacional de Movilidad Urbana Sostenible (NUMP, por sus siglas en inglés), que busca proveer de las bases conceptuales y directrices nacionales para una movilidad sostenible, así como desarrollar los instrumentos técnicos y financieros que permitan la materialización de los objetivos estratégicos trazados por la política de transporte.
Para garantizar la implementación de la Política Nacional de Movilidad Urbana Sostenible (PNMUS) del Ecuador, los Gobiernos Autónomos Descentralizados (GAD) deben tener la competencia para planificar el transporte urbano y su espacio público, de la mano de una planificación urbana coherente que priorice la sostenibilidad económica, social y medioambiental.
This report presents a compilation of examples that can inspire the practical implementation of a green recovery, drawing upon measures and instruments that have been deployed in countries worldwide, particularly in developing and emerging economies.
The objective of this background document is to support and accompany this process byproviding a brief overview of core elements of an institutional setup to be considered. Thedocument contributes to the UN Environment project Accelerating Climate Action underEuroclima+; it was elaborated by the University of Geneva’s Institute of EnvironmentalGovernance and Territorial Development, with inputs from the Mountain Research Initiative.
