Abstract
The coronavirus pandemic appeared as the most critical global health disaster of this century to date, which caused environmental, health, and energy crises worldwide. Humanity has encountered the most challenging health emergency since the earlier calamity of World War-II, which posed economic crisis, social, and environmental challenges to entire communities. It severely disrupted the global economy, international relations, and social interactions. Global efforts initiated to mitigate the COVID-19's rapid spread by launching testing facilities, quarantining suspected cases, treating affected patients, restricting large social gatherings, and imposing full or smart lockdown measures. This research evaluated the strengths and weaknesses of twenty selected countries' best responsive model in overcoming the global crisis and environmental effects and 20 chosen countries responsive strategies. Findings suggest eight crucial strategies/core recommendations to minimize environmental effects, air quality and rivers water quality, reflected better for the short-term, and biodiversity thrived after the COVID-19 outbreak. The study suggests self-produced medical equipment and consolidated supply chain operations to avoid relying on other countries. This article suggests empowering companies to practice social responsibility policies to provide resources for producing environmentally friendly products.Keywords: COVID-19; Novel Coronavirus; learning lessons; overcome crisis; environmental effectJEL Classifications: H51, H52, H53DOI: https://doi.org/10.32479/ijeep.11393
Highlights
AND MOTIVATIONOn December 31, 2019, the China office of the World Health Organization (WHO) received the first news of a formerly unidentified virus causing multiple cases of pneumonia in Wuhan, a city in eastern China with a population of over 11 million
It is very obvious that quarantine alone may not be adequate to control COVID-19 from spreading, and the global effect of this viral illness is one of the major concerns
We selected ten best reaction countries to fight against coronavirus and ten worst responsive countries
Summary
On December 31, 2019, the China office of the World Health Organization (WHO) received the first news of a formerly unidentified virus causing multiple cases of pneumonia in Wuhan, a city in eastern China with a population of over 11 million. The outbreak of COVID 19 and the global lockout situation has a massive negative effect on the world economy, but the atmosphere has got rid of the enormous anthropogenic pressure like major pollutant emissions of various kinds (Mandal and Pal, 2020; Taufiq Rohman, S.Pd.I, 2019). Climate experts on the one hand forecast that since World War II greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions could drop to ratios never before seen This effect is largely due to the policies of social distancing that the governments have adopted following the pandemic appearance. The remainder of the study as following: section 2 COVID-19 effects on the environment; section 3 shows the worst responsive countries; section 4 lessons learning and way forward and section 5 conclusion and recommendations
