However severe lockdowns and slow deconfinements (as have been announced in the UK 🇬🇧, Norway 🇳🇴 and France 🇫🇷), coupled with the socioeconomic effects of low social confidence and trauma, could cause the annual decrease in emissions in 2020 to be -7.5% (-2,729MtCO2).

⚡️ #power has seen a 15% reduction in daily emissions relative to 2019,
🏭 #industry -35%,
🚗 surface #transport -50%,
✈️ and #aviation has seen the largest reduction in emissions, at 75%.
The 🏘 residential sector has seen a modest increase in emissions by 5%.

The study compared 2019 economic activity data and associated CO2 emissions with those from 2020 from six sectors of the economy to determine how Covid has affected emissions.

4/5 sectors analysed showed a decline in daily emissions relative to 2019 levels:

The groundbreaking new study, encompassing 85% of the world's population and 97% of global #CO2emissions, shows lockdowns have reduced daily emissions by 17% globally, equivalent to reducing daily emissions back to 2006 levels! 🗓

While significant, the reduction in 2020 CO2 emissions is likely to be temporary, and emissions are likely to return to usual, if not exceed 2020 levels with calls to delay Green New Deal programmes.
