Policy for an environmentally sustainable future Killing two birds with one stone: a post-pandemic stimulus to create jobs and help the climate (McKinsey).

After the 2008-09 crisis, the economic meltdown caused a steep decrease in emissions, but rebounded to an all-time high in 2010 with the implementation of stimulus packages that did not focus on environmental impact. How can stimulus packages in 2020 be improved?

The COVID-19 economic crisis coincides with a pivotal time in the fight against climate change. Stimulus programs that prioritize low-carbon initiatives can provide socioeconomic and climate benefits and usher in a new era towards reaching the Paris Agreement goals of keeping global warming under 1.5 °C and 2 °C.

The next slides highlight major policy movements from the United States, Europe, and China with a focus on energy storage.
