The world’s largest annual reduction in carbon dioxide emissions

Compared to the reduction in carbon dioxide emissions in 2009 and during the Global Recession, it was only half a billion tons, while at the end of World War II the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions was less than one billion tons.

Researchers said the global response to the COVID-19 outbreak has been associated with the largest annual reduction in CO2 carbon dioxide emissions since World War II.

The results of the study show that carbon dioxide emissions have fallen by about seven percent this year, according to Good News, quoted by ISNA.

France and the United Kingdom have faced the largest reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, mostly due to severe Cronulla restrictions in response to the second wave of the disease.

This year, we have seen carbon emissions fall by 2.4 billion tonnes, according to the Global Carbon Project team.
