1. 2. DATA:
Of prime concern. Public. Transparent.
1. Awareness:
Now it is time
to listen
3. Proofs:
A clear taste of how Sustainability

Opportunities set
up by Covid19
Is humankind now
more aware of its
vulnerability?
Although the recovery will be
slow and difficult, we know
there will be a recovery.
Covid 19
Climate Change &
“Business as usual”
put at risk:
Instead; this is a
ONE WAY trip
No recovery. Just adaptation
at a very high cost; as well in
terms of our life quality.
We must use pain
experienced here…
To build awareness;
effective learning
which avoids us the
more devastating
and determinant
pains and damages
of here!

3. Covid19 indicators became “our permission”
or the way to asses our possibilities to:
• Live a healthy life.
• Relay on the capacity of our health system.
• Live a “normal life”.
• Allowing the economy to flow / our business to go on.
• Have a social life: Which for many even meant, to be able
to reunite with their closest family!
• Go back to school / university,
or continue education.
• Travel for family purposes,
business or tourism.
Are Covid19 numbers,
“just” Health indicators?
Or how faraway are they
from being called:
 Wellbeing indicators?
 Or Inclusive Wealth
indicators?
Covid 19:
Public Data,
Worldwide coverage
Worldwide interest
Focus. Pride. Priority
Covid19 put the attention in global indicators related to the health of
people: The interest on those indicators is already an existing VALUE,
and to check on them is already an existing habit.

4. A proof of the benefits of Sustainability
Which communities responded better against Covid19 ?
Those with better health systems, sufficient infrastructure
and capacity to protect adequately their doctors/nurses…
Those with good quality and full coverage of water and
sanitary services.
Those with enough educated professionals to attend the crisis. And with educated citizens,
capable to think and act responsibly with them and their communities.
Those where people/companies/institutions had solid finances, social security or
savings… which gave them the space to “stop” (standing quarantine / lower income)
without compromising their livelihoods. Those needing to search for their “daily bread”
were reluctant to stop, giving better chances for the virus to spread.
Those with strong institutions and trust from the people in their governors: Less abuse of
power and better responses to governmental guidelines.
People have their “pains”
from Covid19 clear.
Do they have this links
clear as well?
