After steep drops and then rebounds in transportation-related CO$_2$ emissions over the first half of 2020, a second wave of COVID-19 this fall has caused further -- but less substantial -- emissions reductions. Here, we use near-real-time estimates of daily emissions to explore differences in human behavior and restriction policies over the course of 2020.

The Carbon Monitor near-real-time CO 2 emission dataset shows a 8.8% decline inCO 2 emissions globally from January 1 to June 30 th in 2020 when compared with the same period in 2019 and detects a regrowth of CO 2 emissions by late April, which is mainly attributed to the recovery of economic activities in China and a partial easing of lockdowns in other countries.
