What are the links between coronavirus and climate change?




Explore the connections and engage with some of the lessons from lockdown to help make sense of a world in transition.

This four-part inquiry explores the following questions:
- Where did coronavirus come from and how did it spread?
- Why might climate change cause more viruses in the future?
- Why do coronavirus and climate change effect some people more than others?
- What can we learn from coronavirus to empower our responses to climate change?
