A year ago we never would have imagined that humanity could collectively change its work habits so quickly, or that governments could unveil ambitious national programs so quickly. We all saw a silver lining last Spring when the global shutdown brought with it clearer waters and skies and a record drop in emissions.

If we're smart enough to harness what we've learned over the past 15 months, it could go a long way in the fight to keep our planet livable. If we don't ... we could end up right back where we started. Are we smart enough to apply pandemic lessons to the climate crisis?

GUEST: Catherine Abreu, Executive Director, Climate Action Network Canada
