In recent Trade and Development Reports, UNCTAD has outlined the case for a Global Green New Deal to tackle the multiple challenges facing the international community. At its heart is the call for a massive and coordinated investment and jobs push for a cleaner and more efficient global energy system. But as with its erstwhile namesake, this recovery strategy for the planet is linked to regulatory and redistributional measures which should also assume a global dimension. These include measures (and related institutional reforms) aimed at curbing the undue power and predatory practices of large financial and non-financial corporations, reducing the wealth and income inequalities that have created fragmented societies and distorted economies, and ensuring that resilience to unforeseen shocks is guaranteed for the many, not just the privileged few.

As discussed in the previous chapter, growth prospects in many developing countries are already under threat from climate shocks, with worse to come. Adapting to these shocks is a major policy challenge. The favoured approach has so far emphasised “de-risking” development through a variety of market-based coping measures and relying on the public sector as a benevolent insurer of existing assets. While these may help address some of the immediate consequences of climate shocks, in particular for vulnerable populations, the only lasting solution is to reduce the dependence of developing countries on a small number of climate sensitive activities through a process of structural transformation that can establish more resilient economies.

IN Vain
At this writing, eighteen months have passed since the Covid-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic by WHO. It has tested the responsiveness of governments and the resilience of economic systems everywhere; it has changed social behaviour and personal habits in ways previously unthinkable. The dedication of essential workers has shone through dark times, while the scientific community has harnessed the power of collaborative research and public money to develop a vaccine at breakneck speed.
