THE GREENHOUSE
How Is the Climate Community Reacting to the Coronavirus Pandemic?
April 14, 2020
The response to the coronavirus pandemic has had unexpected climate consequences, including less air pollution and fewer greenhouse gas emissions. What lessons can be taken from this moment, and how can we apply it when distancing restrictions are lifted?
The first epsiode of The Greenhouse, our digital event series about climate change, saw top New York Times climate journalists Hannah Fairfield, Somini Sengupta, Nadja Popovich and John Schwartz discuss how the climate community is reacting to the age of the coronavirus.
This year marked the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, which launched on April 22, 1970. But with millions of people around the world practicing social distancing, how did communities rally around this milestone anniversary? We created The Greenhouse, a five-part virtual event series to learn about climate change and the challenges facing our planet while at home. It was an opportunity to connect with the wider climate community, explore pressing issues with leading New York Times journalists and maintain momentum on climate action during a uniquely challenging time in human history.
