Accelerating green investments in economic recovery responses to rebuild pandemic-battered economies, through resilient and ambitious green agendas

Dan Jørgensen, Minister of Climate, Energy and Utilities in Denmark

"The political response to the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic must reap the synergies between job creation and climate action. Huge amounts of money will be mobilised to boost our economies, and we must seize that as an opportunity to tip the scales from black to green. Institutional investors will play a key role in making the recovery a green one"
