Abstract
The project aims to assess policy measures implemented to tackle the economic recession due to the COVID-19 crisis from a climate policy perspective, using a macro-economic modelling approach. It will provide an evaluation of various stimulus and green fiscal reform packages based on their short-term and medium-term impacts on GDP, employment, wage and capital income, public debt, carbon emissions and investments into low-carbon technologies. The results will inform policymakers on how to recover from the recession and simultaneously foster the transition to a low-carbon economy.
