Understanding how global conditions might affect crop harvests and food supply chains is essential to finding solutions, according to SIEPR Senior Fellow David Lobell.

Pandemic-related shutdowns in China led to reductions in pollution that saved the lives of many children and elderly adults, according to an analysis done by Marshall Burke.

Marshall Burke estimated that, in China alone, emission reductions since the start of the pandemic saved the lives of at least 1,400 children under five and 51,700 adults over 70.

"In China, just two months of reduced pollution is likely to have saved the lives of 4,000 children under the age of 5 and 73,000 adults over the age of 70," says Marshall Burke.

“This is not a silver lining. The pandemic is incredibly destructive...But it shows that when we really disrupt the economy and shut things down, we emit a lot less pollution[...]"

"The reductions in air pollution in China [...] likely saved 20 times more lives in China than have currently been lost due to infection with the virus in that country."

China’s coronavirus lockdown likely saved tens of thousands of lives by slashing air pollution from factories and vehicles, according to new analysis by Marshall Burke.

“Our results provide new estimates of the health costs of climate change and identify environmental drivers of the black-white maternal health gap,” says Maya Rossin-Slater.
