Sustainable Solutions for the Global South in a Post-Pandemic World

Addressing vulnerability and promoting security
Jun 22, 2021 | Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies

The COVID-19 pandemic threatens the prospects for economic growth and the livelihoods of the most vulnerable, exacerbates inequalities, and reshapes investment flows to the detriment of commitments to the Paris Climate Agreement in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and South America, among other regions. The fifteen authors contributing to this anthology by the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies engage with three central questions in seeking to shape new perspectives for the post-pandemic world:  What progress was made on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the areas of focus, before the pandemic; how have these areas responded to the pandemic; and how can countries act coherently in policy and practice to tackle climate change in the wake of the pandemic? The contributors offer suggestions and observations for the way forward.
