Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic
poses major challenges for all sectors of
society, including scientists faced with
abrupt disruptions and redirections
of research and higher education1.
The consequences of this crisis will
disproportionately impact early-career
scientists; especially those from
communities historically underrepresented,
disadvantaged and/or discriminated in the
fields of environmental sciences, including
women, researchers from the Global South
and persons with disabilities2. We call for
a collective effort by the entire scientific
community, especially those in leadership
positions, to respond to the short- and
long-term challenges of this crisis and
to protect decades of efforts to build an
inclusive scientific community3.
