The OECD technical workshop will convene leading experts on modelling of economy-environment interactions. The workshop will take stock of modelling efforts that are going on to quantify the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic and government response measures on economic activity and environmental pressure. 

The aim is to identify how robust modelling can be carried out to assess the extent to which recovery measures are “green” and can contribute to the transition to a circular and low-carbon economy.
