Overview
This project grant supports research and analysis on how certain conditions, including political and regulatory requirements, can be designed and implemented by governments looking to impose climate policy goals on firms and industries via economic stimulus. The research will focus on how policymakers have historically used conditionality clauses in government investments in various industries; review current proposals for climate conditionality in stimulus packages; and develop criteria to assess different types of conditionality, highlighting the potential and limitation of key proposals (including the political effects) of green conditionality.
