"Have governments designed their COVID-19 response policies such that they ensure a clean energy transition, reduce inequality, and alleviate poverty? How do their energy policies impact these distinct, but equally crucial, goals? What conditions can achieve all three? This brief addresses these questions by assessing policies captured by the Energy Policy Tracker in four key sectors of energy production and use (buildings, mobility, power, and resource extraction) across 30 countries from January 2020 to November 2021."
