Given that it was a once-in-a-century emergency event, the confinement measures related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused diverse disruptions and changes in life work patterns. These significantly affected water consumption both during after pandemic, with direct indirect consequences on biodiversity. However, there has been lack of holistic evaluation these responses. Here, we propose novel framework study impacts this unique global event by embedding an environmentally extended supply-constrained multi-regional input-output model (MRIO) into drivers-pressure-state-impact-response (DPSIR) framework. This allowed us develop scenarios COVID-19 quantify country-sector-specific freshwater associated biodiversity for period 2020-2025. The results suggest progressively diminishing due implementation vaccines socio-economic system's self-adjustment new normal. In 2020, were estimated decrease about 5.7% average across all when compared baseline level no measures. Further, such is lead reduction around 5% pressure interdependencies interactions supply chains, even those countries sectors not directly shocks experienced significant impacts: Our indicate chain propagations contributed 79% total 84% loss average. demonstrates MRIO-enhanced DSPIR can help resource pressures resultant environmental chains facing event. recommend development more locally based conservation measures-to mitigate effects trade disruptions-and explicit inclusion resources post-pandemic recovery schemes. addition, innovations conserve natural are essential maintaining gains world.
