COVID-19 & Climate Change: What does this mean for our global fight against climate change and what does this mean for our ability to address the climate emergency in the future?

 

The current global health crisis has created grave uncertainties across the world. In response, governments have brought in unprecedent measure to curb the spread of the virus - the steps to restrict movement and mass gatherings as well as the implementation of economic stimulus packages across the globe have not been seen during peacetimes.

Whilst COVID-19 has seemingly put environmental diplomacy on hold with the postponement of COP26 and the 15th Biodiversity COP, what does the current global health crisis mean for ongoing climate crisis? In a year in which global political and business leaders are meant to put climate change first, what impact will this pandemic have on our collective ability to address the climate emergency?

  • What are the direct impacts of COVID-19 on our climate?
  • How has COVID-19 impacted our ability to tackle climate change?
  • What can we learn from Covid-19 to help with climate change?
  • How can we ensure we rebuild 'green' after COVID-19?
  • What should be the next steps for Governments after the COVID-19 crisis maintain momentum for climate action in 2020?
