As the world emerges from Covid-19 and faces stagflation and war, climate crisis remains one of the greatest threats to humanity. A green recovery has become a priority for policymakers in Southeast Asia and around the world, who aim to create a more sustainable path that focuses on the environment, climate change and disaster preparedness.
"A green recovery helps reduce the risks of a future pandemic. … It will also help create jobs which are going to be quite critical and increase the competitiveness of economies," said Ramesh Subramaniam, director-general for Southeast Asia of the Asian Development Bank.
