Virtual Brown Bag: Exploring the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Emission Projections

24 November 2020

Held via Zoom.

This online event explored green recovery packages in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and ADB’s framework to accelerate climate and disaster resilience and low-carbon development in the context of the pandemic recovery.

Niklas Höhne of NewClimate Institute discussed the recent recovery packages and key examples of green recovery from various countries including China, India, South Korea, the USA, and the European Union.

Kate Hughes of ADB shared key findings from ADB’s recent Accelerating Climate and Disaster Resilience and Low-Carbon Development through the COVID-19 Recovery Technical Note (October 2020), which aims to help DMCs accelerate climate and disaster resilience and low-carbon development through the design of COVID-19 interventions in their recovery and transformation phase.

Participants provided questions on systemic resilience and synergy between reviving the economy and reducing carbon emissions, which were tackled during a plenary discussion. This event was moderated by Christian Ellermann of ADB. Event Summary
