But this global crisis is also an inflection point for other already-existing global crises, specifically the climate crisis. The pollution is down, but that does not necessarily mean we have solved the climate crisis. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has already declared a global economic recession, as the spread of the new coronavirus has curtailed economic activity across the globe. What happened in China in 2008 after the global crisis could be an indication of what will happen after the Covid-19 crisis. We can see a similarity between the coronavirus crisis and the climate crisis.
