SDG 8 SDG 13 SDG 15

The green recovery provides a unique platform and opportunity for a much sustainable and efficient build back from the post COVID World. Whereas corporations and various stakeholders pursue strategies and tactics to ensure the green recovery is brought to play, there still remain more questions than answers regarding the key focus areas for the green recovery and who needs to be supported to implement these measures.
Very crucial and relevant it is to hold dialogues and discussions around green recover for a more realistic and feasible build back which encompasses the whole of society approach. However, a great deal of attention has to be given to value addition to the dialogues regarding implementation phase of the strategies within the green recovery plan and a clear focus of on the ground and feasible implementation strategies.
The 2030 agenda maps out five key areas for investment and focus for a green recovery, in belief of attainment. These are inclusive of; Energy comprising clean and renewable energy, natural capital and ecosystems restoration (agriculture, land and landscape management tenures), Green buildings, Transportation, Research and development.
The green recovery drive is slated to drive the World into a steadfast and sustainable economy that encompasses nature. However, this will only be possible with all hands on deck towards this cause.
