As well as a global public health crisis, the Covid-19 pandemic has caused a corresponding economic and jobs crisis. As soon as the first recovery plans were announced, economists and research institutions called for a focus on green, inclusive growth: This large-scale stim- ulus spending will shape the global economy for decades to come. These

decisions could trigger unbearable cli- mate disasters or create a resilient and safe economy powered by clean energy, emphasise 14 internationally recognised institutions (including Columbia Univer- sity, I4CE and IISD) in a joint call. The recovery plans announced so far have responded to this need (see diagram opposite).

Investors, too, are calling for the econ- omy to be allied with ecology. 2020 was a year of acceleration in green finance: green bonds, sustainable bonds, sus- tainable debt etc. According to Bloomb- erg, finance in the form of loans granted to sustainable projects reached the record sum of $732 billion in 2020, 29% higher than in 2019.

More investment was paired with greater expectations of non-financial perfor- mance, as shown by many investors advocating the Say on Climate, a prin- ciple by which shareholders vote every year on the climate policies of listed companies, enabling them to monitor their actions and results more closely.
