Could coronavirus benefit the environment?

Available for over a year

There are calls for a green recovery in the wake of the coronavirus economic slowdown. Jyoti Pande Lavakare is a journalist in Delhi and co-founder of the campaign group Care for Air, and tells us how the air quality has improved there since the city's lockdown began. And Tom Rivett-Carnac, founder of the organisation Global Optimism, discusses whether the environmental benefits of fewer people flying to meetings, and many others working from home, are likely to stay with us for the long term. Meanwhile the BBC's Rahul Tandon reports on how India's agriculture sector is faring since restrictions on working were partially lifted this week. Plus, the ending of the lockdown in China has encouraged thousands of people to visit some of the country’s best known sites but at one attraction, authorities are banning visitors who have been in high risk Covid-19 areas; we hear from the BBC's Kerry Allen.
