The grid does not include measures that support fossil fuels and other high-polluting sectors, unless the money is specifically intended to help them become cleaner. The grid above includes government stimulus packages which – directly or indirectly – support measures aimed at reducing carbon emissions (and are often referred to as “green”). Use the search box to filter by topic: for example, typing “efficiency” to see all entries mentioning that word. Sort the grid using the arrows in the header of each column. Hover the cursor over text to see the full entry. (Update : Entries for EU, Germany, France, Italy and Spain were updated.) The tracker will be updated over time and will include stimulus measures that have a direct bearing on climate change or energy. In the interactive grid, below, Carbon Brief is tracking the measures proposed, agreed and implemented by major economies around the world. And huge stimulus plans will have consequences for CO2 emissions, even if they do not explicitly target climate change.Īs a result, voices from the International Energy Agency (IEA) through to the UK’s prime minister and leading economists are among those that have called for a “green recovery” that “builds back better”, by cutting CO2 emissions as well as boosting the economy.

Yet as economies pick up pace, emissions are beginning to reb o und. In many countries, governments are now looking towards recovery as the pandemic’s first wave slowly recedes, with plans for economic stimulus worth trillions of dollars. The coronavirus pandemic has had devastating consequences for lives and livelihoods around the world, while also dramatically cutting CO2 emissions.
