In addition to the human consequences of the disease, containment measures to slow down and control the virus have deprived people of their livelihood and put many firms in a difficult financial situation. As a result, governments are planning massive stimulus packages to accelerate recovery once the health emergency is under control. To help governments think through investments for a green recovery, we proposed a sustainability checklist to screen potential projects and policies. To test how the sustainability checklist might work for a specific country, the checklist was applied to the Fiji Climate Vulnerability Assessment (CVA). The objective is to demonstrate how the checklist can be used as a screening, scoring, and prioritization tool to identify projects that create synergies between short-term needs and long-term objectives. 2020-08-31T16:23:41Z 2020-08-31T16:23:41Z 2020-08-25 Policy Note http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/670391598366609382/Best-Investments-for-an-Economic-Recovery-from-Coronavirus-An-Illustration-Based-on-the-Fiji-Climate-Vulnerability-Assessment-to-Pinpoint-Stimulus-Options http://hdl.handle.net/10986/34405 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Policy Note East Asia and Pacific Fiji
