Based on a review of both interdisciplinary and policy literature pertaining to the intertwined issues of global economic recovery and sustainability, this article derives a framework of transformational adaptation organized around four objectives.

Second, this article articulates the imperative of embracing developing economies under a green recovery framework.

Finally, the study reveals the clustering of green financing institutions as globally distributed hubs for redirecting investments into sustainable infrastructures consistent with the goal of mitigating climate change as advocated in the Paris Agreement. We identify the main challenges that constrain this transformational adaptation, particularly timely technology transfer of advanced clean energy technologies across the globe. |
