Abstrakt
W artykule został rozważony problem kryzysu spowodowanego wystąpieniem pandemii COVID-19. Założono, że w wyniku pandemii następuje wprowadzenie restrykcji ograniczających aktywność gospodarczą oraz zakłócenie globalnego łańcucha dostaw. Zbadano również w jaki sposób destabilizacja gospodarki wywołana pandemią COVID-19 wpływa na degradację środowiska. Wykorzystano w tym celu koncepcję środowiskowej krzywej Kuznesta. Destabilizacja i degradacja środowiska zostały objaśnione za pomocą deterministycznych modeli dynamicznych. Na podstawie analizy tych modeli sformułowano zalecenia dla polityki gospodarczej, sugerując m.in., że optymalna stymulacja gospodarki w kryzysie mogłaby odbywać się przez wsparcie inwestycjami oraz przez przyjaznymi środowisku rozwiązania prawno-organizacyjne.
