Why the pandemic could be a catalyst for a green recovery
In short: Nigel Topping explores how the global shift following COVID-19 offers a unique window to rebuild our economy with a focus on net zero emissions.
As the UK's High Level Climate Action Champion for COP26, Topping discusses the necessity of committing to net zero by 2050. He argues that the economic disruption caused by the pandemic provides a strategic opportunity to accelerate the transition to a greener economy.
The goal is to move beyond temporary fixes toward creating sustainable, long-lasting jobs. By working with scientists, businesses, and cities, Topping aims to ensure that the post-pandemic restart builds a cleaner world rather than simply returning to previous models.
