Call for Comments: Climate and Clean Air Responses to COVID-19

The authors argue that pandemic recovery stimulus should not compromise efforts to address climate change and air quality, but should instead use an integrated approach to identify efficient, low-cost solutions that provide multiple near-term benefits for both the economy and the environment.

• The authors argue that the global pandemic should not be used as a reason to compromise ongoing efforts to address climate change, poor air quality, unsustainable development, and biodiversity loss.
• Economic stimulus packages designed for COVID-19 recovery have the potential to significantly impact longstanding global environmental threats.
• Treating climate, air pollution, and sustainable development as an integrated problem allows for the identification of technologies, policy solutions, and lifestyle changes that are more efficient, sustainable, and often cheaper than those that ignore the environment.
