A note to our readers: As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold, we are navigating it as best we can, first and foremost ensuring the safety of our staff while making efforts to flatten the curve. At the same time, we will continue to produce important research, thoughtful analysis, and insightful commentary—sometimes this will relate directly to the crisis at hand, other times it will focus on a separate area of sustainable development.
You can find IISD's coverage on COVID-19 on our website and on the SDG Knowledge Hub here. Both of these sites will be refreshed on an ongoing basis as the situation develops. In the meantime, keep reading to see what our experts have been working on these past few weeks.
