series presents guidance for stimulus and recovery investment that can help

present country- and region-specific recommendations for investments and policy 
actions specific to the United States, China, India, Sub-Saharan Africa, and 
the Caribbean.

said RMI CEO Jules Kortenhorst. "If these investments are strategically 
targeted, they can help us simultaneously address this current crisis and the 
climate crisis."
