This paper provides a practical framework that captures the key elements of a green recovery to inform the work of economic advisors who seek to support sustainable, inclusive, and resilient recoveries for the ministries they work with. It draws upon and sits within a suite of existing frameworks and definitions by the United Nations (UN), UN PAGE, IMF, and the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action, amongst others.
The paper first introduces the concept of a green recovery, setting out the importance and benefits of bringing this topic into the work of economy, finance, and planning ministries. It then breaks down the different components of a green recovery, providing a practical list of stakeholders, tools and outcomes. Finally, it summarizes key takeaways for economic advisors to consider in their assignments.
