COVID-19 Green Response and Recovery Support

Tackling climate change, environmental degradation and biodiversity loss are priorities for UK foreign policy. Together they present some of the biggest threats to progress on sustainable development and poverty reduction with their impacts disproportionately affecting the poor and the vulnerable. In an environment of uncertainty arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, green and inclusive approaches offer an opportunity for sustainable recovery and growth. As post COVID-19 economic recovery packages are designed and rolled out, there is a strong opportunity to link them substantively to the planning and investment decision making undertaken in the 'ÄòNationally Determined Contribution'Äô (NDC) and National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes. FCDO will provide an investment to deliver technical assistance for MDB recovery packages. The core objective is to support developing countries in their efforts to accelerate the transition to low-carbon, inclusive and resilient economies.
