Climate change should be treated as emergency like Covid pandemic – study

Climate change should be treated as an emergency in the same way as the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a new study. The report also recommends that governments should keep keep the public informed about climate emergencies in the same way they have with data during the pandemic, with real-time reporting about loss of life and the damage caused by the impact of adverse weather. Led by the Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) Centre for Climate Justice, the study focused on the experiences of policymakers in parts of sub-Saharan Africa. A common concern reported in the research was a fear that resources channelled towards the pandemic response would detract from resources previously allocated to climate action, or that there would be a “downright reduction” of financial commitments.

Climate change as much of an emergency as Covid and deaths should be tracked daily

Share Dr Mithika Mwenda, executive director of PACJA, said: ‘We are now past the point where we can address the Covid-19 pandemic and the climate emergency as separate crises. ‘This report shows that the pandemic has not only forestalled urgently needed action to halt and begin reversing global warming, but it has also worsened existing vulnerabilities to climate change, weakened the adaptive capacities of communities and countries, especially in Africa, and raised the cost of future climate action.’ Governments should put out daily figures on how many deaths are being caused by adverse weather just like with Covid, researchers said (pictured: dried up municipal dam in drought-stricken Graaff-Reinet, South Africa, in November 2019)
