Webinar: Why Inclusion Matters for a Green Post-COVID Recovery

Background
This IIED Debates event, hosted in partnership with the Green Economy Coalition, on 27 November, will bring together partners from Peru and India to discuss how citizen-led dialogues can generate more effective policy and accelerate the green recovery.

For a green and inclusive recovery after COVID-19, broad and deep social support is required. Bringing small enterprises, low-income groups and marginalised communities into the investment and policymaking process is not merely a ‘nice to have’, it is key in the transition to green and inclusive economies.This IIED Debates event will hear how citizen-led dialogues can generate more effective policy and accelerate the green recovery.
 

Agenda

This IIED Debates event hosted in partnership with the GEC on Friday, 27 November 2020 will bring together GEC partners from Peru and India to discuss why inclusion is so critical for the green transition post-COVID-19, and how dialogue models can drive results.

What does it take to structure an inclusive transition? How can we recognise civil society and include people’s priorities in green economy policy processes? How can we build public support for green and fair programmes, and mainstream social inclusion into policymaking? And what can donors, governments, and business do to strengthen inclusive green transition policy?
