The COVID-19 pandemic erupted during the climate change (CC) crisis, forcing individuals to adapt abruptly to a new scenario, and triggering changes in everyone’s lifestyles. Based on a sample of the UK population (N = 1013), this paper investigates how the COVID-19 pandemic invited/forced individuals to reflect upon a more sustainable way of life (which might be enhanced by the use of digital technologies for daily activities) and to (re)consider the anthropogenic impact on the environment. The results show that older individuals tend to be less sceptic around the human impact on CC. Other control variables such as income, gender and employment status have a limited impact on this attitude towards CC. Secondly, the findings indicate a clear separation between those with a minimal level of education, who support the natural origin of CC, while individuals with a higher level of education believe that CC is caused by human actions. Finally, on average, younger and more educated individuals tend to associate the COVID-19 pandemic with an opportunity to promote an eco-friendly world and to adopt an eco-sustainable approach.

COVID-19 大流行在气候变化 (CC) 危机期间爆发，迫使个人突然适应新情况，并引发每个人生活方式的变化。基于英国人口样本（N= 1013），本文调查了 COVID-19 大流行如何邀请/迫使个人反思更可持续的生活方式（可能通过在日常活动中使用数字技术来加强）并（重新）考虑人为影响关于环境。结果表明，老年人往往不太怀疑人类对 CC 的影响。收入、性别和就业状况等其他控制变量对这种对 CC 的态度影响有限。其次，研究结果表明，受教育程度最低的人支持CC的自然起源，而受教育程度较高的人认为CC是由人类行为引起的。最后，平均而言，
