A July 2021 study revealed the Bagmati River basin saw considerable improvements in water quality during the COVID-19 pandemic. Reduced human activity caused a decrease in biological oxygen demand , an important indicator of bacteria levels in water, by 1.5 times the level before lockdowns were implemented.
NIH Open Access Datasets: The National Institutes of Health provide open-access data and computational resources related to COVID-19. [16] COVID-19 Open Research Dataset (CORD-19): The Semantic Scholar project of the Allen Institute for AI hosts CORD-19, a public dataset of academic articles about COVID-19 and related research.

The UNESCO study of publication trends in 193 countries on the topic of new or re-emerging viruses that can infect humans covered the period from 2011 to 2019 and now provides an overview of the state of research prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Global output on this broad topic increased by only 2% per year between 2011 and 2019, slower than ...
To avoid confusion with the disease SARS, the WHO sometimes refers to SARS‑CoV‑2 as "the COVID-19 virus" in public health communications [34] [35] and the name HCoV-19 was included in some research articles.
Environmental DNA or eDNA describes the genetic material present in environmental samples such as sediment, water, and air, including whole cells, extracellular DNA and potentially whole organisms. [13] [14] The analysis of eDNA starts with capturing an environmental sample of interest. The DNA in the sample is then extracted and purified.
[41] Another study also claims that funds with an ESG commitment doubled over these three years, from 3% to 5%. [42] Finally, one last study shows that there is real growth in global sustainable investment assets between 2012 and 2020, with asset value growth from 13.6 trillion USD to 35.3 trillion USD. [43]
From the early outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, rumors and speculation arose about the possible lab origins of SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of the COVID-19 disease. . Different versions of the lab origin hypothesis present different scenarios in which a bat-borne progenitor of SARS-COV-2 may have spilled over to humans, including a laboratory-acquired infection of a natural or engineered vi
The research of the institute is characterised by its interdisciplinary nature and brings together international expertise on economics, finance, geography, the environment, international development and political economy, as the centre's academic staff comprise a broad range of disciplines, including physicists, climatologists, economists, statisticians, political scientists and various other ...
