On 15 July 2020, 16:00 (CET), International Institute for Sustainable Development(IISD) is hosting a webinar on 'Using Simulation to Plan a Low-Carbon Recovery'.
Planning a low-carbon recovery requires determination on how public spending today can trigger economic growth tomorrow. But growth alone is not enough. There must also be widescale innovation in low-carbon goods and services, better resilience to changing climates, increased investment in education and skills, and, most importantly, deep dematerialization across value chains at home and abroad.
In this webinar,IISD will suggest that economic support is tied to performance conditions on carbon and climate. Leonardo Garrido, a lead economist at New Climate Economy, and Andrea Bassi, a CEO, KnowlEdge, and Senior Associate at IISD, will discuss how simulation can be used to look long and make wise investment decisions.
