Foreword
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to sweep the globe, the world’s unemployment rate skyrocketed, tipping the international economy into recession. On top of that, worries about the impact of climate change and questions concerning the sustainable development of human civilization persist. When everything seems to grind to a halt, we are faced with unprecedented disorder and uncertainty, wondering how to mitigate the damages and ease the crises this outbreak has brought about. With great foresight and a clear vision, several Tang Prize laureates provided their valuable advice on issues such as sustainable development, the connection between science and policy, climate change, public health and related humanitarian issues, giving us a ray of hope to lead us out of the current dire situation.
