These may also make a crucial contribution towards specific policy measures, such as promoti ting g energy gy servi vices ces in the public secto tor r through specific demonstration projects, facilitating obliged parties in the context of the
projects and the development of Susta tainabl ble e Urban Mobility ty Plans s and a shift in transport operations.
Finally, focus should be given to actions aimed at ensuring that the energy gy communiti ties es scheme contributes both to the use of waste to produce electricity

Priorities shift
deviated/Climate crisis may seem to recede but recovery may backfire
Resilience is the key
adaption strategies/Solidarity has been demonstrated as key driving force
Our strength is collaboration
allocation
We have found new methods of working and communicating
about expanding our thinking/We know now that it is easier if needed
In any case, we need to be efficient at each and all levels It is better to have a plan to fit the vision, but we need to be adaptive There may be drawbacks, but restarting is an opportunity

demand has been significantly reduced as a result of lockdown measures. Renewables were the only source that posted a growth in demand, driven by larger installed capacity and priority dispatch. However, without additional policy measures the post-Covid situation is challenging for the green transition – lower energy demand and fossil prices may slow new carbon-free investments.
the previous record reduction of 0.4 Gt in 2009. As after previous crises, however, the rebound in emissions may be larger than the decline, unless the wave of investment to restart the economy is dedicated to low-carbon infrastructure.

Across 17 major economies, announced economic stimulus packages will pump approximately USD 3.5 trillion directly into sectors that have a large and lasting impact on nature. These flows present an opportunity to support these sectors through the current COVID-19 crisis, while increasing their sustainability and resilience in the face of the parallel climate and biodiversity crises. So far, government responses have largely failed to harness this

the United States stands out as the largest scale risk, with $479 billion USD providing unrestricted support to sectors proven to be environmentally harmful in the past amidst several rollbacks on environmental regulation.

Green recovery to improve EU trade balance and create new jobs Climate Leadership Coalition views that the Covid-19 pandemic is no reason to slow the European Green Deal but rather the opposite. The Green Deal should be at the centre of the EU’s recovery efforts. CLC proposes that the EU and its member countries
