Beyond Mitigation: How Climate Resilience Needs To Bridge Gap Between Solutions & Implementation

T20 Summit, Mysuru, India |Special Session | Building Climate Resilience: Exploring the Nexus Between Global Financial Architecture and Macroeconomic Policymaking | @Think20brasil | @g20orgbrasil24 |

The panel will discuss green recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of challenges (and opportunities) provided by the current global financial architecture. It will reflect on the role that the G20 and international financial institutions can play to support national macro-economic policy interventions in a way that contributes to climate resilience and reduces social vulnerabilities, recognising that previous policy paradigms are no longer appropriate. Proposed tools for tracking green policy responses will be discussed to explore how these can help policy makers further enhance the climate sensitivity of their macroeconomic policies.
