This position paper explains the consequences of the corona pandemic for the global economy and geopolitics, for the countries of the global south and for international environmental and sustainability policy. On this basis, approaches are proposed to realign the content of international environmental and sustainability policy. For example, the nexus between the environment and health should receive more attention and the resilience of economic and social systems should be established as a requirement. Measures are required to deal with the current pandemic, to avoid further pandemics and to further develop international environmental and sustainability policy.
