“…It can be seen that single dimensions of urban resilience amid the pandemic have been widely discussed from different perspectives; however, given the complex interactions among different urban systems, studies that enable the assessment of the multidimensional impacts of such PHEs on cities from a systematic perspective are still needed. In this regard, some researchers have discussed the urban resilience of an energy-economy ( Wang & Wu, 2021 , Shehabi, 2022 ) or a social-ecologic dimension ( Botequilha-Leitão & Díaz-Varela, 2020 ; Hua et al, 2022 ), but few of them have attempted to evaluate the impact of large-scale PHEs from a comprehensive and city-scale perspective. Their impact mechanism on cities is not clear, and a holistic and inclusive framework is needed to reflect the dynamic connections among different urban systems.…”

“…Later the attempts to study the above-mentioned combined impact were continued by such scientists as [10] who examined "the factors underlying the historic oil price fluctuation during the COVID-19 pandemic", [11] who investigated "effects of the unprecedented oil price declines and substantial COVID-relief packages on Gulf economies". Paper [12] re-examined "the performances of stock prices, oil prices and exchange rates in twelve oil exporting countries amidst the ravaging consequences of the ongoing worldwide coronavirus pandemic".…”

The present study has attempted to systematically explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on transitioning to a more circular economy in 15 major oil-exporting countries. These countries are being explored because they deliver the highest environmental impact. Apart from the comprehensive literature review, the authors interviewed the group of 32 individuals having sufficient knowledge on the subject. The respondents provided their opinions on the main challenges that impacted the move to a more circular economy in oil-exporting countries during the COVID-19 pandemic, addressed the reasons for these challenges and suggested ways to respond to them. The consensus among the respondents was that the pandemic has slowed the transition process down and there is an urgent need to resume it. Their opinions on other topics were different, but not contradicting. Also, in addition to the frequently discussed topics, the respondents addressed those usually insufficiently considered, namely the pursuit of a luxurious lifestyle and scepticism towards relevant concepts and policies in many countries under consideration. The paper finishes with a set of recommendations aimed at early resumption and intensification of efforts on transitioning to a more circular economy in oilexporting countries.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created great pessimistic views among people [14]- [16] and countries [17]- [19]. The health sector is the first and foremost impacted area, affecting many aspects of life today, including the economy [18], [19].…”

This study reviews the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on environmental health through the energy sector, based on the close relationship between energy, the economy, and the environment. The lockdown policy to contain the spread of the disease has hampered the global economy. Due to the close relationship between energy and the economy, the decline in global economic growth can be easily indicated by the decrease in world energy consumption. However, this study argues that this situation also opens the opportunity of restoring environmental health. Thus, the objective of the study is to find the opportunity and the lesson that can be learned from the COVID-19 pandemic. This study employs a qualitative method that combines descriptive analysis and literature review. It involves a review, processing, and observation of quantitative data (statistics) and qualitative data. This study finds that the pandemic opens opportunities to relieve the environment damaged by fossil-dominated energy consumption to pursue economic growth. However, this study also finds the challenge to overcome and lesson learned. The challenge is the two-way pressure from demand and prices that renewables must face. The lesson to be learned is mainly to reduce the dependency on fossil energy sources, primarily if it is imported. However, on top of that, the government must be able to seize the opportunities to overcome the challenge. Thus, this study is expected to provide an optimistic view of taking advantage of the blessing in disguise of the pandemic to rehabilitate environmental health through the energy sector.
