Environmental Resilience and Transformation in times of COVID-19: Climate Change Effects on Environmental Functionality

Environmental Resilience and Transformation in Times of COVID-19: Climate Change Effects on Environmental Functionality is a timely reference to better understand the changes in various environments related to the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown. The COVID 19 pandemic posed unprecedented challenges to the human interaction with the environment. The book is organized into six themes: 1) Environmental modifications, degradation and human health risks; 2) Water and agricultural resources & socio-environmental impacts; 3) Marine environmental status; 4) Pollution status (Air, Land & Water); 5) Environmental justice and responsibility and 6) Climate change and pandemic episodes. These themes provide insight into the impact of COVID-19 on the environment and vice versa, which will help improve environmental management and planning, as well as influence future policy. Featuring many case studies from around the globe, Environmental Resilience and Transformation in Times of COVID-19 offers a crucial examination of the intersectionality between climate, sustainability, the environment, and public health for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in environmental science. Features global case studies to illustrate themes and address issues to support environmental managementOffers fundamental and practical understanding of ways to improve and validate predictive abilities and tools in addition to responseExamines climate-related trends in the spread of the pandemic INDICE: Part I: Environmental modifications, degradation and human health risks 1.
