Green Pulse Ep 25: Will cleaner air in South-east Asia during
Covid-19 lockdowns last?


14:31 mins


Synopsis: Green Pulse is an environmental podcast series at The
Straits Times which analyses the beat of the changing
environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate
change. 


Lockdowns to limit the spread of Covid-19 have resulted in
cleaner air in many cities in South-east Asia, since less fossil
fuels are burnt for energy and transport.


But an analysis by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean
Air (Crea), an independent research organisation, has shown that
the extent to which air quality improves depends on many
factors. 


What are they?


In this episode, hosts Audrey Tan and David Fogarty chat with
Crea's Helsinki-based lead analyst Lauri Myllyvirta, on the link
between Covid-19 and air pollution, and the lessons the pandemic
could offer for tackling climate change.
