“…Although the dynamics of the interactions between COVID-19 and these challenges are poorly understood, with little research taking a holistic look at how COVID-19 intersects with these diverse challenges, their co-occurrence can create effects that have consequences in areas other than the health domain and can weaken the resilience of multiple sectors of social–ecological systems. 4 , 10 , 11 , 12 The potential for compound risks or complex health emergencies could be counteracted by changes that have enhanced health and livelihoods, including technological developments, food sovereignty, improved communications technology, community empowerment, and lessons from previous pandemics.…”

“…As land usage rises, bat populations settle in areas closer to human homes, causing flea viruses [ 44 , 126 ]. Deforestation and anthropization on the bat-borne diseases call for working on the education and awareness among masses, regarding the risks associated with anthropized environments [ 22 , 173 , 174 ]. Moreover, while SARS-CoV-2 transmission through human respiratory droplet and direct contact is evident, there is a misunderstanding of the potential for aerosol transmission, suggesting future scholarship to explore the aerosol virus infectivity.…”

COVID-19 has slowed global economic growth and consequently impacted the environment as well. Parallelly, the environment also influences the transmission of this novel coronavirus through various factors. Every nation deals with varied population density and size; air quality and pollutants; the nature of land and water, which significantly impact the transmission of coronavirus. The WHO (Ziaeepour et al., 2008) [1] has recommended rapid reviews to provide timely evidence to the policymakers to respond to the emergency. The present study follows a rapid review along with a brief bibliometric analysis of 328 research papers, which synthesizes the evidence regarding the environmental concerns of COVID-19. The novel contribution of this rapid review is threefold. One, we take stock of the diverse findings as regards the transmission of the novel coronavirus in different types of environments for providing conclusive directions to the ongoing debate regarding the transmission of the virus. Two, our findings provide topical insights as well as methodological guidance for future researchers in the field. Three, we inform the policymakers on the efficacy of environmental measures for controlling the spread of COVID-19.

“…Lockdown has led to reduced enforcement and governmental monitoring, which allowed these activities to thrive amid the pandemic (Evans, Ewen, Guillera-Arroita, et al, 2020). Additionally, these activities, along with a lack of protection from the government, have allowed Covid-19 to spread to Indigenous communities (Cazzolla Gatti et al, 2021;Laudares and Gagliardi, 2020), including those previously secluded. 23 Adopting a stronger right to Indigenous territory in tandem with a right to a healthy environment could help secure Indigenous rights, as protected in the IAHRS.…”

“…Governments have already started to roll back on environmental protection laws and regulations 87 as a way of coping with this economic crisis and foreseeing a 87. For environmental roll back in the United States see e.g, Harvard Environmental and Energy Law false need to rely (more heavily) on extractivism (Cazzolla Gatti et al, 2021). Environmental rights will, without a doubt, face a critical scenario, which makes it even more relevant to find ways to strengthen the protection of green rights.…”

Latin America is often considered the world’s most unequal region. This inequality is not limited to socioeconomic differences; it is also seen through discrepancies in access to nature, land, and natural resources. The Covid-19 pandemic has intensified existing vulnerabilities felt by communities, especially susceptible to environmental degradation through furthering their socioeconomic disadvantage. Faced with challenges related to the national implementation of certain rule of law concepts and practices, and the lack of access to sufficient domestic remedies, regional plaintiffs have often reached out to the Inter-American system as an arbiter for human rights abuses. Recent jurisprudence of both the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights has broadened the scope of recognized rights infringed by State Parties to the Inter-American human rights system, particularly in fields relating to environmental issues, natural resource rights and the rights of vulnerable and marginalized communities. Critical to this is the Inter-American Court’s development of the inter-dependence of green human rights in Indigenous cases. Set against this backdrop, the Covid-19 pandemic provides an opportunity to analyze existing and evolving legal trends, giving the Inter-American human rights system fertile ground to address emerging legal topics on human rights and the environment. This article addresses this evolving jurisprudence, using recent cases brought to the Commission’s attention as case studies on the development of this relationship.
