Abstract:
Every part of human life, including the physical universe, is affected by the global epidemic of COVID-19. The
aim of this review is to discuss the impacts of positive consequences on the total environment due to the
COVID-19 pandemic and how information technology can support sustainability in the longer run. This
review was performed by analyzing the published literature, various reports, and official websites of
organizations that were available. The scientific literature was collected from PubMed, Scopus, Springer,
Science Direct, Tailor and Francis Online, Thomson Reuters Web of Science, Research Gate, and Google
Scholar's database via electronic resources. These studies show that the pandemic scenario enhances the
quality of air in various places around the globe by reducing various pollutants, which can help to restore the
ecological system. This research identifies potential means of achieving long-term environmental
sustainability and importance while people learned a lesson about the value of the environment and the
impact of pollution. In the environment, innovative technology has been developed, such as tracking,
modelling, and conservation of biodiversity. Distance education and learning have gained popularity during
the lockdown. The proper application of the suggested policies is supposed to be beneficial in achieving
environmental sustainability.
