| We have stood together to take on the Coronavirus, but can we repeat that and tackle the climate crisis. |
Yet only one crisis has inspired widespread, drastic action from countries across the globe.
As Covid-19, the disease caused by the virus, spreads, governments, businesses and individuals around the world have undertaken unprecedented, wartime-esqe measures.
Countries have been put into lockdown, schools closed, events canceled, factories shuttered, millions told to work from home and emergency funds released. No economic cost has been too big to stem the spread of the disease.
Coronavirus is proving that it is possible to make dramatic changes and economic sacrifices to save lives.
