Green Strings: Principles and conditions for a green recovery from COVID-19 in Canada

The COVID-19 crisis, while difficult and tragic, also provides a critical opportunity to align efforts to meet Canada’s climate goals with the challenge of economic reconstruction post-pandemic. IISD has developed seven "green strings" recommendations: key principles, criteria, and conditionalities that should be applied to government measures for economic recovery from COVID-19 to ensure a green recovery. Canada’s leading environmental groups, representing close to two million people, have signed on to the recommendations.
