CARBON EMISSION
LEVELS POST-LOCKDOWN
EXPLORING
The second quarter of 2020 saw much of the world enter
lockdown in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
With travel restrictions in place and relatively few people
commuting for work, carbon emissions dropped significantly
– around a quarter lower than the same time in 2019.
Exploring Carbon
Emission Levels
Post-Lockdown
However, as restrictions are beginning
to be eased, emissions are rocketing and
there are fears that they could end up hi-
gher than ever before if measures are not
put into place swiftly.
THE PARIS AGREEMENT
Emissions are still lower than they were
last year but had rebounded by June 2020
to just 5% lower. At the peak of lockdown,
emissions were 31% lower than the same
time last year. While things look on track
to end the year with lower emissions than
2019, the reduction is not enough if the ob-
jectives of the Paris Agreement are to be
met. To prevent climate change, emissions
must be reduced much further and the
lower levels sustained long-term.
THE TRANSPORT SECTOR
One of the key drivers for change must
be the transport sector. This was the area
where emissions dropped the most during
lockdown, and the area where they are ri-
sing the fastest now.
