There is now ample evidence that nature plays a key role in the COVID-19 pandemic’s emergence and recovery. Our latest White Paper “COVID-19: a dashboard to rebuild with Nature”, proposes a dashboard based on the two core planetary boundaries of climate change and nature loss.
Co-authored with Future Earth, the Stockholm Resilience Center and the Potsdam Institute on Climate, the paper demonstrates that a sustainability transformation through which we rebuild our world differently with nature is humanity’s best bet for the coming decades.
The report concludes that a nature positive food system is the most effective way to build resilience against future shocks, including new pandemics.
