Impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic are reverberating around the globe. With over 3.5 million confirmed infections and more than 250,000 deaths worldwide, the novel coronavirus outbreak has revealed major gaps between the realm of sustainability science—a field encompassing a variety of disciplines that study the interactions between natural and social systems—and policy makers.

To explore how scientists can help overcome these gaps, as well as the surprising ways the ongoing crisis is affecting other sustainability issues, the Earth Leadership Program is organizing a special webinar on the role of sustainability science in a post-COVID-19 world. Featuring past fellows, the conversation will also touch on the ways ongoing recovery packages can be leveraged to accelerate sustainability transformations.
