“…Furthermore, the pandemic has shown that good air quality is essential for avoiding severe health outcomes from the pandemic. The current health emergency has also provided a glimpse of the potential climate emergency in the absence of climate action (Vinke et al., 2020). Another crucial lesson of the pandemic is to promote South‐South cooperation, that is, more exchange of resources, technologies, and knowledge with other developing countries, together with North‐South cooperation, that is, obtaining economic and other forms of support from developed countries (SDG 17).…”

“…By exposing the vulnerability of contemporary supply chains, the pandemic has led many companies to fundamentally question the dominant supply chain narrative of cost reduction and responsiveness. The pandemic has succeeded in getting people to ask the questions they have failed to ask about other serious issues, including the much more existential climate and biodiversity crises (see Pagell & Shevchenko, 2014; Vinke et al, 2020).…”

Most of the theories that have dominated supply chain management (SCM) take a reductionist and static view on the supply chain and its management, promoting a global hunt for cheap labor and resources. As a result, supply chains tend to be operated without much concern for their broader contextual environment. This perspective overlooks that supply chains have become both vulnerable and harmful systems. Recent and ongoing crises have emphasized that the structures and processes of supply chains are fluid and interwoven with political‐economic and planetary phenomena. Building on panarchy theory, this article reinterprets the supply chain as a social–ecological system and leaves behind a modernist view of SCM, replacing it with a more contemporary vision of “dancing the supply chain.” A panarchy is a structure of adaptive cycles that are linked across different levels on scales of time, space, and meaning. It represents the world’s complexities more effectively than reductionist and static theories ever could, providing the basis for transformative SCM.

“…All of these activities are linked to further long-term research as well as the need for urgent and immediate action. Lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic can help to tackle future pandemics as well as other global emergencies ( Vinke et al, 2020 ). Recovery measures will need to be assessed for their short- and long-term effects on the drivers of potential pandemics, and it is important to keep track of constantly emerging results of research on COVID-19 and global environmental change to be able to link them to new research questions aligned with societal needs.…”

Getting out of crises: Environmental, social-ecological and evolutionary research is needed to avoid future risks of pandemics

The implementation of One Health/EcoHealth/Planetary Health approaches has been identified as key (i) to address the strong interconnections between risk for pandemics, climate change and biodiversity loss and (ii) to develop and implement solutions to these interlinked crises. As a response to the multiple calls from scientists on that subject, we have here proposed seven long-term research questions regarding COVID-19 and emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) that are based on effective integration of environmental, ecological, evolutionary, and social sciences to better anticipate and mitigate EIDs. Research needs cover the social ecology of infectious disease agents, their evolution, the determinants of susceptibility of humans and animals to infections, and the human and ecological factors accelerating infectious disease emergence. For comprehensive investigation, they include the development of nature-based solutions to interlinked global planetary crises, addressing ethical and philosophical questions regarding the relationship of humans to nature and regarding transformative changes to safeguard the environment and human health. In support of this research, we propose the implementation of innovative multidisciplinary facilities embedded in social ecosystems locally: ecological health observatories and living laboratories. This work was carried out in the frame of the European Community project HERA ( www.HERAresearchEU.eu ), which aims to set priorities for an environment, climate and health research agenda in the European Union by adopting a systemic approach in the face of global environmental change.
