讨论了新冠疫情对拉丁美洲空气污染、森林砍伐等环境维度的短期与长期影响,并探讨了环境监管、政策干预及未来研究议程,适合关注环境政策与区域发展的学者。
COVID-19 is currently having major short run effects with possible serious long run implications for the environment and the management of natural resources in Latin America. We discuss the possible effects of the pandemic on air pollution, deforestation and other relevant environmental dimensions across the region. With contributions from environmental economists from eight countries, we give an overview of the initial and expected environmental effects of this health crisis. We discuss potential effects on environmental regulations, possible policy interventions, and an agenda for future research for those interested in the design and evaluation of environmental policies relevant for the Latin American context.
