The COVID-19 pandemic has led to historic economic fallout. To protect public health and stabilize incomes, governments have implemented massive fiscal stimulus packages. These fiscal supports are crucial, though there is concern that sustainable and resilient development will be sacrificed in the rush to preserve incomes and industries. The aim of the paper is to review whether the Japanese governments' responses in terms of financial stimulus considers longer term resilience and sustainability. This paper reviews pertinent academic literature and publicly available data from governments and organisations. The research is a rapid analysis of emerging information provided by the government of Japan and other international organisations. Using the case of Japan, this paper suggests that it is possible both to protect public health and essential services, while also promoting resilience and sustainability. Japan's integrated solutions show that pandemic response can include accelerated decarbonization and resilient, sustainable development. The paper also warns also that failure to act on long-term sustainability risks increased inequality, higher opportunity costs, cascading hazards, and further retreat from planetary thinking and globalism.

COVID-19 大流行导致了历史性的经济后果。为了保护公众健康和稳定收入，各国政府实施了大规模的财政刺激计划。这些财政支持至关重要，尽管有人担心在急于保护收入和产业的过程中会牺牲可持续和有弹性的发展。本文的目的是审查日本政府在金融刺激方面的反应是否考虑了长期的弹性和可持续性。本文回顾了相关学术文献和来自政府和组织的公开数据。该研究是对日本政府和其他国际组织提供的新信息的快速分析。以日本为例，本文表明，既可以保护公共卫生和基本服务，又可以促进复原力和可持续性。日本的综合解决方案表明，应对大流行病可以包括加速脱碳和有弹性的可持续发展。该文件还警告说，如果不采取长期可持续性行动，可能会增加不平等、增加机会成本、连锁危害，并进一步退出地球思维和全球主义。
