Abstract:
The Global Stocktake of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change assesses countries’ collective progress toward holding warming to well below 2°C, or 1.5°C. In this commentary, we argue that governments’ fiscal responses to global economic shocks provide an important opportunity to investigate the credibility of climate pledges and progress.
