A new report by UK charity The Ellen MacArthur Foundation advises policymakers on paving the way for a low-carbon recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.
It states that, in order to recover from the pandemic in a resilient, sustainable way, policies that focus on long-term ‘recovery’ efforts will be needed just as much as short-term ‘rescue’ efforts are.
