On 27 November 2020 at 14:00 (CET), the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) is hosting a webinar on ' Why Inclusion Matters for a Green Post-COVID Recovery'.

This IIED Debates event will hear how citizen-led dialogues can generate more effective policy and accelerate the green recovery.

The full extent of the suffering caused by COVID-19 is still emerging, but poor communities, small and informal businesses, and marginalised communities are bearing the brunt of the crisis.

The pandemic has exposed the scale of global inequalities, and it is likely to exacerbate them. The 'green recovery' has emerged as one of the key solutions to COVID-19, but what are the practical solutions for ensuring that green economic policies leave no one behind?
