Transport and Environment Under the Impacts of COVID-19
摘要
The COVID-19 pandemic has imposed various impacts on the transport sector, which is however not irrelevant to the virus spread. While restrictions on travel and activities have brought about a decline in global environmental emissions, the repeated restrictions have made many people tired of further cooperation, leading to a rebound in the emissions. This speech will first describe the history and mechanisms of pandemics and then discuss the relationships between pandemics and transport, followed by an illustration of a pandemic policymaking approach: i.e., PASS approach. After introducing the speaker's personal research on COVID-19, an international initiative related to this report will be introduced, followed by a description of the impacts of COVID-19 on global CO2 emissions in all sectors and CO2 emissions in the transport sector of China. Furthermore, it is discussed how to make carbon reduction policies in the transport sector by developing a seamless process management approach. Finally, the speech will be wrapped up by introducing the first transport-related pandemic book "Transportation Amid Pandemics" (Elsevier, including 36 chapters) in the literature, published in 2022.
