Amid the tragedies of the coronavirus pandemic, a radical shift from “business-as-usual” has had significant impact on the planet. Just a few months of lower industrial activity and travel reduced air pollution in parts of China, for instance. But if reducing climate impacts at scale occurs only during global pandemics, the change is hardly sustainable. Worse yet, humanitarian crises like the Covid-19 outbreak stand to divert attention from the urgent and interrelated effects of climate change. Stakeholders, from investors and companies to national and local governments, must act or face a reckoning.
