„We need to protect the environment - this is our first and foremost duty as citizens of this world. If we take care of the environment, it will take care of us and bring us health, prosperity, and happiness.“ - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

The Covid-19 pandemic has clearly shown the world how quickly extreme measures can contain pollution. As countries try to limit the spread of the virus by lockdown and other national restrictions, pollution and greenhouse gas emissions have gone down. But while the immediate environmental benefits seem obvious, we, however, have to question if this is just a short-term change, or could it lead to longer-lasting falls in emissions and give an opportunity to scaled-up environmental programs? What will happen when the current measures are eventually lifted? Will it be just business as usual? What needs to happen for a lasting, long-term alignment with the planetary boundaries?
