Governments and financial institutions are under growing pressure to make economic bailouts designed to counter the coronavirus pandemic dependent on climate action in the longer term.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Over the last week, hundreds of billions of dollars worth of stopgap measures have been announced to fight the coronavirus and limit economic shortfalls.<\/p>\n

In the US, industries are scrambling<\/a> for a share of a $1 trillion-stabilisation package with the aviation industry expected to receive a large chunk.<\/p>\n

Last week, the European Central Bank (ECB) announced a \u20ac870 billion ($781bn) emergency bond-buying programme<\/a> to stabilise the euro zone economy until the end of the year \u2013 the equivalent of 7.3% of the euro area’s GDP.<\/p>\n

In contrast, the EU Commission has promised a trillion euros over a decade to finance its Green Deal and support the union’s plan to be the first climate neutral continent by 2050.<\/p>\n

Resounding calls have been made for governments and international financial institutions to put the clean energy transition at the heart of stimulus packages,<\/a> once the human tragedy eases. Almost 15,000 people have died<\/a> in the pandemic with more than 340,000 confirmed cases by Monday.<\/p>\n

“We have a responsibility to recover better” than after the financial crisis in 2008, UN secretary general Ant\u00f3nio Guterres warned.<\/p>\n

“We have a framework for action \u2013 the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. We must keep our promises for people and planet,” he added.<\/p>\n

But short-term measures designed to stabilise the economy are so far doing little for the transition.<\/p>\n

Coronavirus<\/strong> slows developing nations\u2019 plans to step up climate action in 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In Europe, the bond-buying programme announced by the ECB \u2013 one of Europe\u2019s most powerful institutions \u2013 follows the bank\u2019s current purchasing criteria, which proscribes the bank from preferring one sector over another, instead buying what is available on the market.<\/p>\n

An ECB spokesman told CHN the bank’s portfolio “will have an increasing number of green bonds” since these are rising on the market, but their total numbers remain limited.<\/p>\n

Stanislas Jourdan, head of Positive Money Europe, a campaign group that has called for the ECB to do more to promote green finance, said the bank committed to a mass purchase of bonds \u201cwithout any climate considerations\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThough the ECB is rightly aiming at addressing the coronavirus crisis, there is a risk that fossil fuels free-ride on those measures to gain even cheaper financing to maintain their activities,\u201d Jourdan told Climate Home News.<\/p>\n

The move will likely put more pressure on the bank\u2019s upcoming strategic review of its monetary policy, which is due to consider climate risk, Jourdan added. The ECB is also expected to look at ways it can help drive the continent\u2019s decarbonisation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ronan Palmer, who leads the environmental think-tank E3G\u2019s clean economy programme, told CHN that while Europe needed an immediate economic stabilisation package, such measures should be consistent with the EU\u2019s 2050 net zero emission goal.<\/p>\n

Governments<\/strong> have \u2018historic opportunity\u2019 to accelerate clean energy transition, IEA says<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As fossil-fuel intensive sectors such as the oil and gas and aviation industries are also lining up for economic relief, \u201cthis must be the time to keep these firms afloat providing some conditionality on how these companies operate in the future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

For example, an automotive company could be bailed out on the condition it accelerates the electrification of the fleet when the immediate crisis passes.<\/p>\n

NGO Transport & Environment has urged EU governments to make any financial aid to airlines conditional on carriers paying taxes and starting to use low-carbon fuels<\/a> once conditions improved.<\/p>\n

This, Palmer added, would help governments and companies move away from increasingly risky fossil fuel investments \u201cin a controlled manner\u201d.<\/p>\n

In the less immediate term, Palmer said he hoped the EU would \u201cclip a recovery package to its Green Deal\u201d \u2013 and use recovery efforts to boost energy efficiency, the electrification of transport, the deployment of renewable energy as well as land use change reforms.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the big political battle,” warned Laurence Tubiana, CEO of the European Climate Foundation and an architect of the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can make the right choices and address the short economic crisis at the same time as making sure we don\u2019t lock in the economy in Europe into a fossil fuel economy,\u201d she told reporters last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many areas where we could take the elements of the Green Deal and quick start them with massive investments that governments are ready to go for anyway,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Coronavirus<\/strong> response to delay EU Green Deal by weeks<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tubiana insisted the EU needed to start aligning its economic response to the virus with its Green Deal as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cOr we accelerate the implementation of a green deal or I\u2019m very concerned this will be a totally wasted opportunity because the fiscal resources will be use immediately to tackle the [coronavirus] crisis,\u201d she said, adding this could sap the EU\u2019s capacity to make progress on the Green Deal.<\/p>\n

Under the Green deal<\/a>, the EU committed to become climate-neutral by 2050, increase its 2030 climate target, ensure no-one is left behind in the energy transition and transform key sectors such as constructing and renovating buildings, agriculture and transport.<\/p>\n

How quickly the promised stimulus money can help boost clean energy investments is, however, up for debate.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now there is much competition for that stimulus money,\u201d Samantha Gross, a fellow in the Cross-Brookings Initiative on Energy and Climate, told CHN, making a focus on clean energies and technologies \u201cchallenging\u201d in the short-term.<\/p>\n

Gross said the low cost of renewable energy and plummeting interest rates would, in time, constitute favourable conditions for mass investments in the energy transition. \u201cBut we need to get out of this crisis mode before businesses can take advantage of these conditions,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

For Albert Cheung, head of global analysis at Bloomberg New Energy Finance, the economic response to the pandemic will happen in two stages.<\/p>\n

The first few months to a year is \u201cwhen you get cash into people\u2019s hands\u201d, he told CHN. While the next couple of years can be spent shaping the recovery effort.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is the opportunity for green investments and putting people back to work in jobs that can accelerate the clean energy transition,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

While stabilisation packages might not immediately assist the clean energy transition, the extraordinary scale of the response by governments and central banks is setting a precedent for similar measures to be rolled out to tackle the climate crisis, Jourdan told CHN.<\/p>\n

Ronan agreed. “It shows what they [central banks] might be able to do when their put their full weight behind the climate crisis.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UN says Paris
