During the COVID-19 pandemic, the global economy was devastated. However, the virus indirectly impacted the environment, causing record emission reductions around the world. As global governments decide on post COVID-19 economic recovery plans, opportunities have arisen to introduce measures that will benefit the environment, and prioritize the climate crisis. In a poll with thousands of residents across 15 countries, many support a green economic recovery. The highest share of support was in India, at 81 percent. India was hit hard by the virus, but it also saw carbon emissions drop for the first time in four decades.
