This is what a real emergency looks like: what the response to Coronavirus can teach us about how we can and need to respond to the planetary emergency

John Barry, a member of Green House’s advisory group, considers what the response to Coronavirus can teach us about how we can and need to respond to the planetary emergency.

John Barry argues that the pandemic induced economic slowdown should not be viewed as a temporary pause on either economic growth or capitalism, but rather the foundation upon which a better and different economy and society could be constructed.  We need to seize the multiple opportunities for change the crisis offers.
