Description
Rarely does a day pass without us being reminded of the social, economic, and environmen-
tal challenges we now face. During 2 years of living with a pandemic that seemed to never
pass, a series of social and economic issues emerged. Businesses struggled with restrictions
and citizens’ cautiousness, while regulators struggled to balance economic and business
needs against uncertain – but serious – public health considerations. People also experi-
enced pandemic fatigue generated through the numerous minor respites followed by the
next and potentially more threatening Greek letter variety of the coronavirus. During this
period, the social ramifications of lockdown and restrictions became abundantly clear, and
so did the recognition that people were unevenly affected by the pandemic. In addition to
the effects on our local communities and states, the pandemic highlighted challenges related
to radical inequalities with regard to, for example, capacities for producing and procuring
vaccines, but also to use national resources to support and maintain citizens and businesses.
