According to the Mayor of Milan and other C40 mayors around the world, a green and just recovery from COVID would bring both jobs and improved health to his city and others.

If done quickly and decisively enough, a green stimulus could finally put the world on track to keep global heating under 1.5°C.
If governments use stimulus funding to try to return to ‘business as usual’ before COVID, run-away climate breakdown will be locked in.
