Industrial policy for sustainable human development in the post-Covid19 era

Abstract

Highlights The pandemic urges us to advancing a new and different framing on industrial policy. Industrial policy plays a key role to tackle dramatic societal challenges. We have reached a turning point on industrial policy, sustainability and development. We need a new analytical framework on industrial policy governance and implementation. Industrial policy in a post-Covid19 era should foster sustainable human development.

How (Un)sustainable Environments Are Related to the Diffusion of COVID-19: The Relation between Coronavirus Disease 2019, Air Pollution, Wind Resource and Energy

“…Within environmental and sustainability science, new and relatively unexplored topics are continually emerging, such as factors determining the diffusion of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID- 19), which generates a severe respiratory disorder and is causing the deaths of many individuals worldwide [1][2][3]. Manifold studies suggest a possible relation between unsustainable environments with high air pollution and the spread of COVID-19 [3][4][5].…”

“…This study has the potential to support long-term policies directed towards fostering sustainability by maintaining and sustaining environmental quality both at national and at global level through biological, eco-friendly methods and the dissemination of knowledge on various topics and technologies relating to renewable energy systems (such as wind energy technology) in order to reduce environmental pollution and biodegradation and foster bioremediation, which could be one of the strategies for preventing future epidemics similar to COVID-19. In fact, Ferrannini et al [19] point out that industrial policy should facilitate sustainable structural change in modern economies towards human and social development by investing in renewable resources and by designing innovation policies directed to environmental benefits in the period post COVID-19 pandemic crisis.…”

The National Innovative System Development Strategy as the Institutional Framework of Sustainable Development: Features and Risks of Russian Model

“…The global political and economic order is in turmoil. Especially under the impact of the COVID-19, the global economic governance system and the world market have been greatly overturned (Yang, 2020;Lin, 2020;Ferrannini et al, 2021; Bishop & Payne, 2021) [1,2,3,4] .
