Will Covid-19 be a game-changer for climate change?

The global lockdown has already had a direct and huge impact on the environment in terms of reduced pollution levels. But once the lockdown is lifted, will the experience of the pandemic really lead to both individuals and businesses completely rethinking their behaviours and their general approach to climate change and sustainability?

The global lockdown has already had a direct and huge impact on the environment in terms of reduced pollution levels. But once the lockdown is lifted, will the experience of the pandemic really lead to both individuals and businesses completely rethinking their behaviours and their general approach to climate change and sustainability? Or will we simply see a return to 'business as usual' once we are over the worst of the crisis, especially as society grapples with the lasting economic effects of the pandemic?

These are some of the key questions we will be posing at our first Original Thinkers webinar where we will interview Jonatan Pinkse, Professor of Strategy, Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Professor Pinkse has written extensively over many years on how businesses are responding to climate change, and will share his views on what the impact of Covid-19 could now be for climate change.
