THE TELEGRAPH: How the world might change for the better after coronavirus

Press/Media: Expert comment

Description

In an article in the Global Policy journal, Professor David Hulme and Dr Rory Horner outline what those scenarios look like: the ugly, effectively global meltdown; the bad,  a return to the world we had before, facing climate crisis and rising injustice; and the good, a world that is on a better trajectory than it was in 2019. 

"The coronavirus pandemic," they write, "could change the 'rules of the game', for better or worse... Moments of crisis matter. They can be a critical juncture, where actions taken now could have legacies for decades to come."
