World Environment Day 2020: How a pandemic is changing sustainability
To mark World Environment Day, experts in green finance, circular economy, renewable energy, ecotourism, regenerative agriculture, environmental journalism and sustainable cities tell Eco-Business how the coronavirus pandemic has changed their worlds.
Today is World Environment Day. And it is like no other in the 46 years since the United Nations first announced that 5 June would be a day devoted to environmental advocacy. Instead of planting trees or participating in public events, people in the 143 countries where World Environment Day is celebrated are mostly stuck at home, under lockdown, commemorating the day through online seminars and programmes.
