The COVID-19 pandemic has brought devastation to millions around the world, disrupting many parts of the global economy. Governments, have stepped up to protect lives and livelihoods. But climate change has continued, and it ultimately threatens life on earth. The UN celebrates and raises awareness for a green recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. A sustainable green recovery plan from the pandemic, necessitates understanding the links between climate change, health, and inequality; and implementing ambitious climate change policies, which align with the Paris agreement. The United Nation's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are a call for action by all countries to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. More important than ever, these goals provide a critical framework for a COVID-19 green recovery. Selva Ozelli's Net Zero Art Show, that will be exhibited at the COP26, reflect these themes. These art shows contain paintings that were acknowledged in numerous United Nations art competitions.
