[...]plans for mitigation as well as adaptation are also considerably affected by the “new normal” lifestyles. Under the direction of the Ministry of the Environment, Japan, the Environmental Restoration and Conservation Agency of Japan (ERCA) has launched a strategic financial support program, the Environment Research and Technology Development Fund, to support “Integrated Research on Climate Change Impact Assessment and Adaptation Plans” (S-18; project leader: [...]more broadly, the COVID-19 pandemic offers a unique research opportunity to investigate the increasing frequency of emerging infectious diseases over time [6]. Importantly, we must remember that people with underlying comorbidities and those with lower incomes are disproportionately affected by both COVID-19 and climate change. [...]the physical impact of the COVID-19 pandemic together with climate change is more intense in socioeconomically underdeveloped countries and populations.
