Commentary: “Pandemics and sustainable development”

What are the broader lessons COVID-19 is teaching us? 

In an article published by the Philippine Daily Inquirer last August 2, OML Center Executive Director Rodel D. Lasco Ph.D. refers to studies that reveal the interconnectedness of what we do with our natural ecosystems and the rise of pandemics adding that “on a broader scale, the rise of pandemics, coupled with planetary-scale changes, could disrupt our aspiration to attain sustainable development.”
