Assessing environmental impact of measures in the OECD Green Recovery Database
This Policy Brief provides the key findings and policy insights from the April 2022
update of OECD Green Recovery Database, which tracks recovery measures with a clear
environmental impact adopted by OECD member countries, the European Union and selected
large economies. Since the previous update in September 2021, the budget allocated
to environmentally positive measures increased from USD 677 billion to USD 1 090 billion,
while recovery spending with ‘mixed’ impacts increased from USD 163 to 290 billion.
The Brief also explores how well-designed green recovery plans can generate the double
dividend of enhanced energy security and better environmental outcomes, in the face
of energy security concerns triggered by the war in Ukraine.
