Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the outbreak started in the end of 2019, the COVID-19 ravaged the world in 2020-2021. To combat the rapid spread of the virus, many cities or countries tried to administrate various non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) strategies to control the epidemic, including lockdown, border control, and quarantine etc. Whether it is caused by the outbreak or the implementation of epidemic prevention strategies, there is no doubt that our economic activities and life patterns in the meantime have been greatly affected and changed as a result. It is conceivable that we have focused on environmental and climate change issues in the past decades, which in turn have led to unknown changes due to this emerging infectious disease. We tried to solve the different man-made environmental pollution problems in the past, and we struggled to face the various climate changes caused by the change of natural greenhouse phenomenon by human behavior patterns. Nevertheless, it might a good timing for us to find new directions and solutions in this process of great changes in human behavior patterns, and we could apply the scientific evidence to re-examine and plan our new way of life in the post-epidemic era of mankind to accelerate the maintenance and protection of the Earth's environment and climate.
