2020 Essay Topic
The climate crisis is among the most critical existential threats facing humankind. But today, we are also facing a new global crisis: the COVID-19 pandemic. Are there similarities in the threat of these two crises? How has the urgency of combating the climate change crisis been impacted by the COVID-19 crisis?
Please consider the following questions in your response:
A) What impact has the COVID-19 global pandemic had on the environment and the economy?
B) How do these impacts affect ongoing or new climate change mitigation strategies?
C) In what ways have recent changes to daily life, school, governance, or business provided a preview of what might happen to society if the climate crisis continues to escalate?
D) Based on what we've learned from navigating through the COVID-19 crisis, what steps should we take today to help manage the climate change crisis?
Thinking about these key points, create an essay of no less than 1,000 words that describes the parallels and differences of these two crises, and share your insights on how this experience can help us create a more sustainable future.
Essays must be 1,000 words or more and in a Word Document. Plagiarized essays will not be considered. We will only accept essays in English. One essay per student. See full rules for more details.
