Today, @IEA is presenting a Sustainable Recovery Plan for the next 3 years that would enable governments to boost economic growth, create millions of jobs & make 2019 the definitive peak in global emissions.

Our new report based on analysis with @IMFNews: iea.li/2YImM3O

Our Sustainable Recovery Plan offers a roadmap to achieve major results, including:

1️⃣ Add 1 percentage point to global GDP growth each year
2️⃣ Save or create roughly 9 million jobs a year
3️⃣ Make 2019 the definitive peak in global emissions

Based on analysis of over 30 specific policy actions & targeted investments, our Sustainable Recovery Plan would create jobs in key areas including:

☀️ Deploying renewables like wind & solar
🏘️ Improving energy efficiency in buildings
⚡️ Upgrading & expanding electricity grids

With huge stimulus packages on the way, policy makers have a unique chance to spur growth & boost employment while moving the 🌍 closer to a resilient & clean energy future.

Our Sustainable Recovery Plan doesn’t tell governments what they must do. It shows them what they can do.

The Sustainable Recovery Plan spans 6 key sectors – electricity, transport, industry, buildings, fuels & emerging low-carbon technologies.

It would require $1 trillion of global investment a year, mainly from private finance mobilised by government policies.

We’re aiming to build support for a sustainable recovery by assembling a grand coalition.

On 9 July we’ll bring together 40+ Ministers from countries representing >80% of global energy use, top CEOs, major investors & other key figures at the @IEA Clean Energy Transitions Summit
