Life Post COVID-19: International Cooperation and the Environment

The ongoing pandemic, COVID-19 has brought a drastic change in the daily lifestyles of human beings. It can be attributed to the relationship human beings share with the environment. The root cause of this crisis is important to be addressed which is, the transmission of the virus to humans (zoonosis) and the subsequent widespread, rapid, and uncontrolled movement of infected people due to modern mobility. In such a situation, it is important to collaborate and cooperate so as to face such a crisis in solidarity with each other.

The impact of such a crisis can be seen on the ecosystem, while globally it has taken a toll on the world order the institution of globalisation.
