ONLINE CONFERENCE
The pandemic has changed our reality, bringing uncertainty to our lives. At the same time, by restricting our mobility, the pandemic has brought some positive changes. Around the world, and most certainly in big cities, environmental changes can be readily observed. These changes lead us to reflect on the future we want to live in.
In this session we will address the consequences of human impact on ecosystems, namely at the origin of pandemic, and discuss how we can take inspiration from pandemic times to build a healthier and more sustainable future.
