How a pandemic can help us build back green

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold and health concerns remain paramount, governments are already taking the first steps towards recovery.

What those steps towards recovery look like will determine the shape of our world’s future.

Poorly designed recovery plans risk further exacerbating social inequalities and the environmental crisis. However, the COVID-19 outbreak represents an unprecedented opportunity for government to build back in a way that improves public health, reduces inequality and addresses the climate crisis.

That’s why Apolitical has partnered with C40 cities to create a boot camp on how government can plan and implement a green and just recovery. Designed for public servants and policymakers, participants will be exposed to expert opinion and writing as well as inventive ideas from cities around the world.
