The NASEM Response and Resilient Recovery Strategic Science Initiative (R3SSI) Executive Council will establish a Strategy Group on COVID-19 and Ecosystem Services in the Built Environment. The Strategy Group will investigate how the COVID-19 pandemic has altered humans' interactions with nature and the mental and physical support provided by ecosystem services within the built environment. The Strategy Group will use scenario planning methodologies such as futures visioning and backcasting to help policy-makers and communities make decisions now that position them well for achieving a common vision.
