Purpose and scope
- The High-Level Advisory Group (HLAG) on Sustainable and Inclusive Recovery and Growth assembled to provide policy analysis and practical proposals to help countries secure a strong recovery from the pandemic and a successful green transition.
- The report pulls together key findings from the HLAG deliberations and provides actionable recommendations to support a pathway to green, resilient, and inclusive development (GRID).
Assessment of investment and financing challenges
- The HLAG started by assessing the scale and nature of investment and financing challenges and concluded that investment needs require rapid and sustained scaling up.
- Conservative estimates presented to the HLAG by Bhattacharya et al. (2022) suggest that EMDEs other than China have aggregate investment and development spending needs on the order of at least:
- $1.3 trillion per year by 2025
- $3.5 trillion per year by 2030
Key findings
- A strong recovery from the pandemic and a successful green transition require substantial scaling up of investment and development spending.
- Achieving green, resilient, and inclusive development (GRID) is the overarching objective guiding the HLAG's analysis and recommendations.
Actionable recommendations (high-level)
- The report provides practical policy proposals designed to support a pathway to GRID, drawing on the HLAG’s deliberations and assessment of investment needs.
- Recommendations are intended to address both the scale and the nature of financing shortfalls to enable rapid and sustained investment increases.
