For
a far long time, our scientific communities have been alerting about the risk of
a viral pandemic, and the threat of climate change. With our current rate of
global greenhouse gas emissions, we will miss our 1.5?C target and head instead
towards a 3-4?C rise in temperature in the coming years. And while emissions
are forecasted to be 7% lower in 2020 than in 2019, the cost has been
magnificent. A year ago, news headlines
were dominated by the climate youth movement and a sense of urgency. But
COVID-19 has replaced that interest and perception. In fact, the causes of both
crises share commonalities, and their effects are approaching. The climate
emergency and COVID-19, a zoonotic infection, are both abide by human activity
that has led to environmental degradation. The climate emergency nor a zoonotic
pandemic, none of them were unexpected. Both have to lead the way to the
avoidable loss of lives through an act that is delayed, inadequate, or
erroneous. However, aligning responses presents a chance to enhance public
health, develop a sustainable economic future, and excel protect the Earth's
remaining natural amenities and biodiversity.
