IMPACT OF THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC ON REDUCING CO2 EMISSIONS

Summary/Abstract: Carbon dioxide, CO2, is more than any other greenhouse gas - a driver of warming that contributed to climate change between 1975 and 2011. Changes in the environment resulting from human activities are emissions of greenhouse gases, small particles and changes in land use. Carbon dioxide, CO2 remains in the atmosphere unlike other gases, thus contributing to the greenhouse effect. After CO2 emissions, 40% will remain in the atmosphere for 100 years, 20% CO2 will remain for 1000 years, and 10% CO2 will remain in the atmosphere for 10,000 years, affecting the greenhouse effect, climate change, global warming, and ozone depletion. During the Covid 19 pandemic, the reduction in CO2 emissions globally between January 2020 and June is 8.6 percent, which would mean approximately 1,048 million tons. The measures taken by the governments of all countries against the spread of the coronavirus pandemic have had a major impact on energy needs around the world, so as expected, the global level of CO2 emissions has fallen. Only emissions from land and air transport were 36 and 60 percent lower on April 7, 2020, compared to the annual average for 2019. Land transport, energy and industry together account for 86 percent of total CO2 reductions.
