Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly impacted global health, the economy, and society, with reduced industrial activity and transportation during lockdowns temporarily decreasing greenhouse gas emission and air pollution. This period highlighted the interconnectedness of human and environmental health, underscoring the need for sustainable practices to address both public health crises and climate change. This research was a study conducted using the literature review method, where searches are made from various references including international and national articles, using online databases. The study demonstrated that the Covid-19 pandemic has significantly impacted global public health, the economy, and the environment. The reduction in industrial activity during lockdowns led to a temporary decrease in greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, revealing the close relationship between human activity and environmental health. These findings highlight the need for sustainable practices to address both health and environmental crises simultaneously, and the importance of collective action in mitigating the effects of climate change and pandemics While the reduction in carbon emissions and improved air quality provided temporary relief, it is essential to recognize the complexities of these changes. As the world recovers from the pandemic, it is crucial to build upon the lessons learned and develop sustainable strategies that strike a balance between economic recovery and environmental stewardship.
