Overview
COVID-19 and climate change refers to the connections between the COVID-19 pandemic and the broader environmental crisis of a warming planet. The two are linked in several ways: both highlight the interdependence of human health, animal health, and the environment; environmental degradation and changing land use can influence the emergence of new infectious diseases; and the global response to the pandemic affected emissions, economic activity, and public attention to environmental risk. Examining these intersections helps clarify how ecological disruption and human health are bound together and how responses to one crisis may inform the other. Within the International Journal of Coronaviruses, this topic sits at the meeting point of infectious-disease research and concern for environmental change, considering how the drivers and consequences of the pandemic relate to wider questions of sustainability and planetary health. Research in this scope addresses the emergence of novel pathogens, the human and animal dimensions of the pandemic, and the social and environmental context in which outbreaks occur. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to the relationship between COVID-19 and climate change.
