“…The politics of sustainable energy transitions are now at a critical juncture, in which the form and direction of state support for post-COVID-19 economic recovery are critical ( Kuzemko et al, 2020 ). The pandemic has had a massive impact, and may fundamentally change the pathways and trajectories of sustainable energy development ( Lo, 2020 ).…”

Based on a review of COVID-19 research from an environmental health perspective, this study theorizes the interdependence of the society, environment and health, and presents an integrated framework for environmental health problems arising due to COVID-19. Five guiding principles are proposed for conducting environmental health research, including employing a transdisciplinary approach, embracing complexity and uncertainty, addressing vulnerability, boosting resilience and promoting sustainable development. This study propagates that the pandemic could be an opportunity for sustainable transformation, wherein visionary leadership that facilitates sustainability policies based on environmental health science is required. This study can serve as a consolidated guide for professionals and stakeholders who conduct environmental health research in this challenging field.

“…This need for permanent change in the context of the looming economic crisis post-COVID-19 could be seen as extravagant, and an economic transition may not be prioritized for the sake of economic recovery [ 109 ]. Given the unknown long-term effects of the slowdown in the clean energy technology innovation [ 32 ] and the delay in the development of renewable energy projects [ 110 ] it is highly unlikely that the targets set by the climate agendas will be met.…”

To stop the spread of COVID-19, governments have implemented confinement measures unprecedented in modern society. One of the main consequences has been the paralysis of commercial and industrial sectors worldwide, primary electricity consumers. This paper examines the impact of these measures on the electricity sector through a literature review accompanied by fieldwork on the impact of COVID-19 in Ibero-America and its energy regulatory response. First, we will review the causes of the reduction in electricity demand due to the confinement measures and their technical and financial consequences in the electricity sector. Second, we will examine the impact of COVID-19 on the wind and solar PV energy sectors, mainly affected by the paralysis of production and export of materials and components. Third, we will revise the regulatory measures implemented by the countries to avoid the interruption of electricity supply to households. This paper will end by reviewing economic recovery plans and their relationship to the energy transition. Although there are no fundamental differences between developed and developing countries in their regulatory reaction to this crisis in the energy sector, there are significant differences in economic recovery planning. While developed countries aim for a green economic recovery and the creation of green jobs, developing countries are allocating least resources to social protection and general economic stimulus programs, postponing climate objectives. In Latin America, this adds to the high levels of debt faced by utilities and the possible resurgence of social crises that were stopped by the COVID-19 outbreak, making a green recovery even more difficult.

“…Then, the lockdown policies contribute in increasing household consumption of energy. He also mentioned that the reduction in air pollution due to COVID-19 and the death rate in COVID-19 sufferers are influenced by air quality, therefore it is important to develop the renewable energy (Lo, 2020).…”

ADB is a strategic partner for Indonesia in Development. Public sector management and energy are two sectors that the both parties focus on. On the last few years, Indonesia focusses on the climate change, therefore energy infrastructure is being pursued by Indonesia in order to develop the renewable energy. Unfortunately, in the midst of pursuing this goal, Indonesia is facing the COVID-19 Pandemic that affect various sectors in Indonesia. The pandemic gave impacts on infrastructure development in Indonesia, including energy infrastructure. This research examines the ADB's Approach towards Energy Infrastructure Development in Indonesia, specified on case of post-COVID-19 Pandemic. This research applied descriptive qualitative method and used international organization theory for analysis. Moreover, this research used the literature study technique to obtain the relevant data. The result shows Indonesia and ADB have cooperation on handling COVID-19 Pandemic. But, cooperation on infrastructure development still being the priority of both parties. Both parties seek for solution for economic recovery without sacrificing project on infrastructure development, especially on energy sector.
