Abstract:
Writing this editorial is of particular portent during this moment in history, as Covid-19 exposes the fragility of our assumptions about the world in which we live, or the amount of time we may have to adapt to its change. And yet, a world that would have seemed fantastic at the end of 2019 became our reality as the rapid and systemic effects of Covid-19 were amplified both in our everyday lives and around the world. We suggest that this is a particularly apposite time to consider what we might learn about other aspects of sustainability beyond those that have contributed to the causes and the effects of Covid-19. Yet pandemics, similar to weather-related disasters, have long been high upon the risk registers of many countries, indicating that it is not the unanticipated nature of the risk that shaped lack of foresight. Furthermore, while the speed and scale at which Covid-19 had its dramatic effects upon the globe are certainly remarkable, so also are the effects of rising global temperatures upon extreme weather events. Events such as hurricane and extreme heat, and their secondary effects, such as flooding, drought, and bushfire, have almost doubled to 6681 events over the past 20 years, costing $4.07 trillion in global economic losses.
