This UN-Oxford panel discussion will bring together global leaders and international institutions to debate progress, explore openings, and attempt to answer some of the major questions following the COVID-19 pandemic.
Indeed, the crisis has shaken the global economy, plunged the world into mourning and thrown hundreds of millions of people out of work, reducing them to poverty. A team of international leaders and experts, involving Mrs. Svenja Schulze, German Minister of Environment, Mr. Tito Titus Mboweni, South African Minister of Finance (TBC), Ms. Inger Andersen, UNEP Executive Director, Ms. Kristalina Georgieva, IMF Managing Director and Mr. Joseph Stiglitz, Economist and Nobel Laureate, will therefore ask and answer the questions that matter:
- What is at risk if we fail to build back better?
- Can recovery spending bring strong economic and job impacts while securing environmental progress?
- Have countries been using COVID-19 to tackle climate change, nature loss, and pollution?
- How can countries better leverage recovery spending to accelerate the transition to a sustainable and more equitable world?
