#EoF - 03/07/2020, On-life seminar with Leonardo Becchetti and Francesco Salustri

Prophetic Economy

Castelgandolfo (Roma): 2 - 4 noviembre 2018

#ProfeticEconomy es mucho más que un evento de tres días. Es un camino emprendido conjuntamente con otras asociaciones y movimientos que tratan de dar respuesta al clamor de la tierra y de los pobres. Nuestro mundo se enfrenta a una crisis ecológica y social. El cambio climático y el aumento de las desigualdades están directamente relacionados con estructuras económicas injustas, políticas miopes y prácticas obsoletas de ayuda internacional.

Muchas personas en todo el mundo creen apasionadamente en el desarrollo humano y en la sostenibilidad, trabajan incansablemente para cambiar las reglas de juego y piden justicia. Ha llegado la hora de movernos juntos para ser más que la suma de nuestras partes.

#ProfeticEconomy será una experiencia y el comienzo de un proceso: Nuestra intención es estimular la inventiva, el diálogo y la creatividad en la búsqueda de soluciones sostenibles y colectivas a los problemas sociales y medioambientales de nuestro tiempo, con especial atención a los más pobres.

#EoF - 03/07/2020, On-life seminar with Leonardo Becchetti and Francesco Salustri

Leonardo Becchetti and Francesco Salustri: The environmental crisis and the Covid-19 Pandemic: What we must learn for the future.

Friday. July 3, 2020, 16:00 - 17:15 (UTC+2)

What is the link between pollution and the Covid-19 pandemic? What are the lessons that we can learn to implement more sustainable policies? Since January, the World has been experiencing a tragic pandemic causing several deaths, albeit with a different impact across regions.

There are a number of plausible explanations to this variation: pre-existing health conditions such as age and the presence of other diseases, policy interventions like lockdown measures, and demographic characteristics like population density. In addition to these factors, the environment seems to play a fundamental role in the spreading of the virus. In Italy, for example, the most polluted regions are also those more affected in terms of number of Covid-19 cases and deaths, while municipalities located in protected areas have been less affected. At the same time, in the last few months we have been experiencing alternative life-styles, like remote working and electric transports, that also contribute to reduce pollution levels worldwide. In this webinar we will review what the scientific debate suggests so far about the link between the coronavirus outbreak and the environment, explore more in details the Italian case, and draw some policy implications that simultaneously promote the environment, health, and economic and social wellbeing of local communities.
