“…Others have asked whether the COVID-19 outbreak and the associated lockdown of economic activities will lead to a long-lasting reduction of carbon emissions [17][18][19]. While a consistent reduction is expected this year and perhaps the next, the more relevant issue is to what extent the trend will continue, especially with respect to the type of support policies every government around the world is introducing and the changes in the organization of production as we have been knowing it.…”

“…[35] estimated that daily global CO 2 emissions decreased by −17% by early April 2020 compared with the mean 2019 levels, while the impact on 2020 annual emissions depends on the duration of the confinement, with a low estimate of −4% if pre-pandemic conditions return by mid-June, which we observed in many countries. [19] estimates that existing climate policy measures will likely reduce emissions more than 40% by 2030 in the wake of the pandemic. However, these reductions will not be enough to meet the Paris agreement.…”

“…In this paper, we examine the similarities and the differences between two global problems-the coronavirus pandemic (hereafter COVID- 19) and climate change-and the extent to which the experience with COVID-19 can be of use for tackling climate change. COVID-19 is the name given to the disease associated with the virus SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2), a new strain of coronavirus that has not previously been identified in humans.…”

In this paper, we examine the similarities and the differences between two global problems, the coronavirus pandemic and climate change, and the extent to which the experience with the COVID-19 pandemic can be of use for tackling climate change. We show that both problems share the same microeconomic foundations, involving an overprovision of a global public bad. In addition, they entail externalities whose correction comes at very high economic and social costs. We leverage on a well-established problem such as climate change that has been studied for several years now, to highlight the common traits with the COVID-19 pandemic, but also important differences. The COVID-19 crisis is itself a reality check for climate policy, international governance and prevention in general. Indeed, the COVID-19 pandemic is a mock laboratory of climate change, where the time scale of unfolding events is reduced from decades to days. While the former is often measured in days, weeks, months, years, the latter is measured in years, decades, and centuries.

“…Unlike past economic crises, the ongoing COVID-19 crisis is accompanied by a call for green recovery: a call to action for climate change [54], biodiversity [55], and a general sustainability transition. Therefore, there is a debate around whether (i) sustainability transition efforts should be continued and even intensified (green recovery) or (ii) should be paused, and funds should be spent on getting the economy back on its feet (quick rebound).…”

Can We Have Our Cake and Eat It? A Review of the Debate on Green Recovery from the COVID-19 Crisis

As we speed through the development and distribution of a vaccine for the COVID-19 pandemic, economies are suffering through the worst decline of the century while, at the same time, being pushed to comply with global agreements regarding climate change. Because of this, the economic downturn is also seen as an opportunity to speed up the sustainability transition or, in simple terms, to achieve a “green recovery”. What can we expect from a green recovery? We address this question by reviewing position documents in the debate between green recovery and its opponent, “quick rebound”, in the Netherlands. We apply systems thinking to model causal arguments regarding key concepts comprising green recovery and identify issues of consensus and dissensus. Our findings indicate that green recovery is promising for curbing greenhouse gas emissions and addressing growing socioeconomic inequalities. However, the position of what green recovery means for economic growth, including the development of gross domestic product and employment, is still largely unclear and at times contradictory. While some see tradeoffs, others suggest that economic growth and sustainability goals can be achieved simultaneously. Thus, we conclude by reflecting on the question: Can we have our cake and eat it?

Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah 250 pasien rumah sakit pada daerah Skouw Mabo, Skouw, Yambe, Skouw Sae, dan Mosso Distrik Muara Tami, Kota Jayapura. Keempat daerah ini adalah daerah perbatasan Republik Indonesia dan Papua New Guinea. Metode pengumpulan sampel adalah purposive sampling dengan mengambil sampel pada pasien rumah sakit. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis PLS (Partial Least Square). Penelitian ini menggunakan data primer berupa kuesioner dan dibagikan kepada 300 (tiga ratus) orang responden yang merupakan pasien rumah sakit, jumlah pasien yang mengembalikan sampel ada 250 pasien. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kompetensi sumberdaya manusia guna meningkatkan sistem pengendalian internal pasien rumah sakit era covid-19. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa sumber daya manusia menjadi hal yang penting dan harus diperhatikan dalam menangani pasien rumah sakit era Covid-19. Semakin kompoten sumberdaya manusia maka akan semakin baik sistem pengendalian internal pasien rumah sakit era Covid-19.
