Explanation:

While we continue to fight COVID-19, search for a vaccine, and come to grips with our 'new normal,' it's important we reflect on the valuable life lessons the pandemic has taught us and keep sight of these while working towards progress.

So, when we come out the other side of this pandemic, what will we have learnt?

Here are a few thoughts...

Human life on Earth is not a given

Although the extinction of many animal species has been well documented, many of us have never considered the possibility humans could one day become extinct too. COVID-19 has forced us to examine the fragility of our own mortality.

As grim as it is to consider, it is just one of many recent reminders that we may not be immune to being wiped out. In recent years, we've seen the global climate crisis escalate, coming to a crescendo in Australia with extreme weather events like droughts, floods and last summer's bushfire crisis.

Now, we're facing a pandemic unlike anything we've seen in modern times and it has brought life as we knew it to a halt. The pandemic has seen countries we've previously seen as strong and medically advanced - such as China, Italy and the US - brought to their knees. We've watched in horror as makeshift morgues and mass graves have appeared to whisk away inconceivable numbers of bodies in the worst-affected nations.

Swift, globally co-ordinated action is needed to protect against universal threats

Including future pandemics

COVID-19 has shown us not all our world leaders nor the systems we've placed faith in are equipped to cope with major global threats like COVID-19. We already knew from the early 2000's SARS-outbreak that better information-sharing between countries and swifter, globally co-ordinarted is one of the best lines of defence against future pandemics. Yet, we failed miserably when it came to remembering these learnings and working together.

Public health experts have argued that had we seen early, more-aggressive and globally-united responses to COVID-19 (such as synchronised lockdowns and perhaps universal financial support packages) we may have mitigated much of the social and economical carnage we've seen.

And, climate change

While reporting around climate change has largely been forced into the backseat lately, this looming crisis won't wait until the pandemic is over. We urgently need to apply the same principles of globally-united action to lower our greenhouse gas emissions before it is too late. No country is insulated against the effects of global warming and we are playing a dangerous game of Russian roulette with the planet the longer we delay.

Changes in human lifestyle and behaviour can have a meaningful impact on the planet's health

COVID-19 has highlighted the link between damaging human activity on Earth and climate change. Although we've seen many excited reports about the positive effect the pandemic has had on climate change (the cleaner air and recovery of wildlife has been impressive), the International Energy Agency (IEA) has predicted 2020's annual emissions to be down by just 6 to 8 per cent. Frighteningly, although it seems we've made huge improvements, this year is still on a collision course to be the hottest ever recorded.

Further, we remain on the brink of missing the internationally agreed target set during the Paris Agreement. Even the dramatic lockdowns and travel limits over the last few months haven't put us on track to reduce our emissions by the agreed 7.6% each year to 2050 that will allow us to limit global warming to 1.5C (above pre-industrial levels).

If we can apply the same strategies of serious, speedy action, that we successfully used against the pandemic in Australia, to climate change, and look to countries like South Korea that are investing in green energy as part of their COVID-19 economic recovery plan, we'll stand a chance.

I hope you Helpful
