In March 2020, the world thought that COVID-19 would just come and go, and life would go back to normal. Less than a year into the pandemic, researchers found this as an opportunity to push further the sustainability agenda by endeavoring green recovery plans. The pandemic had demonstrated valuable changes which can be carried over through the crisis, including telecommuting as a viable partial substitute for face-to-face work. The pandemic had also created new challenges needing attention, e.g. increased plastic pollution.
Entering into the third year of the pandemic, it is becoming more apparent that COVID-19 is here to stay and the world would have to learn how to live with it. Thus, there is a challenge to the government, industry and academic community to reimagine and reinvent how things are done, in consideration of the threats existing and future pandemics present. For example, there is a huge opportunity to innovate on how business is done, as evidenced by the growth of e-commerce; more efficient contact tracing approaches can be made using digital technologies; the socio-economic and cultural implications of the pandemic need to be understood; supply chains and resources need to be analyzed; the responsiveness of healthcare services needs to be improved; the effectiveness of e-learning needs investigation; and energy security and ample transport services need to be ensured.
