Agreements made before the pandemic must be revisited either to agree alternative arrangements for a limited period to support recovery or amended to address the long-term consequences of the pandemic.

New agreements must reflect what we learnt – who bore the risks and costs of unexpected major disruption.

At the same time agreements for the future must include terms that reflect where the costs of climate change will fall and who will finance and bear them.
