“The peoples of the Earth,” Henry Morgenthau said in 1944 while closing the Bretton Woods Conference, “are inseparably linked by a deep underlying community of purpose.”

The institutional architecture – the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and what became the World Trade Organization – that emerged from Bretton Woods may have been deeply flawed. But this was an attempt to underpin through practical financial and monetary cooperation the human rights and freedoms envisaged in the UN charter.

John Maynard Keynes, one of the architects of the Bretton Woods system, once said: “Anything we can actually do, we can afford.”

As an international community we can afford to deliver on the SDGs, work together through multilateralism and prevent climate catastrophe.
What we can’t afford is the alternative.

Hi all - A note for anyone interested in the Green Recovery theme @ S+50 that late last year at the OECD GGSD, GEC published a working paper on 'Setting a structural agenda for a green economic recovery from COVID-19' (with support from the partners for inclusive green economies (PIGE) group)

A link to the paper is included below, and a key table on the 'menu' of green structural recovery measures. We're looking at a revised / final version, so if anyone has any interest or suggested sources/resources, don't hesitate to get in touch.
