The coronavirus is devastating, but failing to tackle climate change because of the pandemic only compounds the tragedy.
Travelling to conferences and meetings has become a way of life for many of us – and has driven up emissions. Now COVID-19, not climate change, is forcing us to explore and develop alternatives.
