The Environmental Impacts of the Coronavirus
探讨新冠疫情导致的全球封锁对排放、自然环境、环境政策、宏观经济刺激、去全球化、代际环境负担及行为变化的短期和长期影响,为环境经济学研究者提供研究议程。
The Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic has resulted in global lockdowns, sharply curtailing economic activity. It is a unique experiment with substantial impacts that will form the agenda for research. There are five sets of questions: the short-term impacts on emissions, the natural environment and environmental policy, including regulations and COP26; longer-term consequences from the deployment of macroeconomic monetary and fiscal stimuli, and investment in green deals; possible further deglobalisation and its impact on climate change and nature; intergenerational environmental impacts including debt and pollution burdens on future generations; and possible behavioural changes to the environment, both positive and negative.
