Dear Colleagues, 

Mitigating green gas emissions in order to avoid global warming beyond 1.5–2 °C has become even more pronounced and urgent given the hardships in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically the dramatic impact on economic activities worldwide which, in turn, has both direct and indirect effects on greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. This raises timely questions, including what economic and climate policy package will be needed to deal with the economic consequences of COVID-19, and how will the current emergency affect, for example, the recently promulgated European Green Deal. Concrete—not merely declared and plans on paper—national actions on the part of all countries in the world, developed as well as developing economies, are called for, following the Paris accord.
