Covid-19 Crisis and Environmental Law: Opportunities and Challenges

Document Type : Research Paper

Author

Assistant Professor, Environmental Rights Group, Shahid Beheshti University, Tehran, Iran

Abstract

With the outbreak of Covid-19 in the world, many measures have been taken to reduce the effects of this pandemic. The most important of these was the recommendation to "stay home", which became the main line of slogans. With this recommendation, schools, offices and factories were closed. Covid-19 pandemic has so far made wide impacts in people's lifestyles, and is likely to have some other implications. The main question of this article is, what environmental opportunities and challenges does Covid-19 bring, and how do these affect environmental law? Quarantine policies have led to a reduction in production and transportation, and a significant reduction in pollution caused by these behaviors. Other implications may not be immediately apparent. Covid-19 may increase residuals vulnerability to future contamination. Other changes may occur, including revisions in environmental and economic changes and revisions in allocating and consumption of resources, as Covid-19 affects the global, national, and local economies. Considering each of these implications and their effects can help develop environmental rights and develop effective strategies.
