Governments around the world are spending trillions right now to save and repair their economies during the Covid-19 pandemic - but the big question is, how do you spend it wisely?
The government's Budget last month included a $50b Covid-recovery fund, including $3b for "shovel-ready" infrastructure projects.
There have been multiple calls for those projects to have a green focus , and that very issue - how to ensure New Zealand's recovery is well-balanced with key environment goals - was the subject of a meeting yesterday of 65 corporate and public sector leaders called the Fenwick Forum.
Lynn talks to the co-chair of the Aotearoa Circle which hosted the Forum, Vicky Robertson, and environmentalist Sir Jonathon Porritt, who's looked at what some governments are doing to reflate their economies, while taking climate goals into account.
