G20 NOTE ON ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE INVESTMENT FOR THE RECOVERY
March 30, 2021
Executive Summary
This note1 prepared for the G20 Infrastructure Working Group summarizes the main finding of the IMF flagships regarding the role of environmentally sustainable investment for the recovery. It emphasizes that environmentally sustainable investment is an important enabler for a resilient and inclusive recovery—it creates jobs, spurs economic growth, addresses climate change, and improves the quality of life. It can also stimulate much needed private sector greener and resilient investment.
