新型コロナウィルス(COVID-19)による社会・環境・経済への広範な影響を受け、政策立案者にはプラネタリー・ヘルス(地球の健康)を取り戻すことが求められている。 地球環境戦略研究機関(IGES)による新型コロナに関するポジションペーパー3.0は、健康な地球を目指し、実現可能なアクションについて提案し、野心的な政策立案を支援することを目的としている。 本ペーパーでは、「プラネタリー・ヘルス」と「ワンヘルス」の基本概念を紹介した後、グリーンイシューである生態系関連、そしてブルーイシューである水関連の提案を行い、さらに、ブラウンイシューである気候変動やグレーイシューである大気汚染の問題に対処するための経済刺激策のモメンタムを適切に維持する方法を検討する。最後に、生態系と気候の保護を統合しつつ...
