On 12 May 2020, the German Development Institute / Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE) jointly organised a webinar with GGKP on “Sustainability after COVID-19: Can the global Green New Deal movement survive the pandemic?” The webinar attracted 850 participants and featured experts from Colorado State University’s School of Global Environmental Sustainability, Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW), ThyssenKrupp, University College London (UCL) and World Resources Institute (WRI). Moderated by DIE researcher Anna Pegels, it discussed how politically informed smart green transformations can prioritise win-wins over costlier reform processes that risk turning into dead ends and make sure as much environmental conditionality as possible is added to the non-green bailouts that will be part of economic recovery packages.
