University Open Air: Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Environment and Climate Change
A global pandemic that is claiming people’s lives certainly should not be a way of bringing about environmental change either. For one thing, it is far from certain how lasting this dip in emissions will be. When the pandemic eventually subsides, will carbon and pollutant emissions “bounce back” so much that it will be as if this clear-skied interlude never happened? Or could the changes we see today have a more persistent effect?
