MARCH 3, 2021

The Covid-19 crisis in 2020 triggered the largest annual drop in global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions since the Second World War, according to IEA data, but the overall decline of about 6% masks wide variations depending on the region and the time of year. Many economies are now seeing emissions climbing above pre-crisis levels.
