“DARK SIDE”:
• Lower priority for environment and
sustainability (“Covid-19 related work took
priority over everything else”)
• Insufficient financing of environmental
work (“funding will not be forthcoming this
year”)
• Challenges in continuing research,
educational, and conservation activities
• False security in terms of emissions and
pollution levels
• Risk of returning to business-as-usual
behavior… or worse (to stimulate
economic recovery)

9. COVID-19
“LIGHT SIDE”:
• Exploration of new and promisingly
effective ways of solving environmental
and sustainability challenges
• Promising signs of better and faster
information and knowledge exchange
• Advancements in information
technologies (IT) and their applications in
sustainability-related matters
• Rise in development and distribution of
better sensors, more advanced AI, and
more adaptive robots to be applied in
assessing and solving environmental
issues
