Contributor(s): Resource type: Ressourcentyp: Buch (Online)Book (Online)Language: English Series: OECD Policy Responses to Coronavirus (COVID-19)Publisher: Paris : OECD Publishing, 2021Description: 1 Online-Ressource (10 p.)Subject(s): DOI: DOI: 10.1787/4b7a9937-enOnline resources: Summary: This brief analyses the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated government responses on the environment. It links the impact of sectoral and regional shocks to the economy until 2040 to a range of environmental pressures, including greenhouse gas emissions, emissions of air pollutants, the use of raw materials and land use change. The short-term reductions in environmental pressures are significant; as the economy gradually recovers, emissions are projected to increase again, with growth rates going back to the pre-COVID baseline projection levels. But there is a long-term – potentially permanent – downward impact on the levels of environmental pressures of 1-3%, with stronger effects for pressures related to capital-intensive economic activities.Other editions: Parallele Sprachausgabe: Conséquences environnementales à long terme du COVID-19PPN: PPN: 1770747559Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-13-SOC | ZDB-13-SOC-ebookNo physical items for this record
