Study Notes
- Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions significantly decreased by 4.6% in 2020.
- The decrease is attributed to lockdowns which restricted global mobility and hampered economic activity during the first half of the year.
- The most significant increase in emissions has been from manufacturing and energy sectors, according to the IMF's Climate Change Indicators Dashboard.
- The IMF's Climate Change Indicators Dashboard is a joint effort by multiple statistical organizations with national and international reach.
- Emissions from human activities that increase greenhouse gases in the atmosphere lead to climate changes and affects atmosphere, land, and oceans.
- Emissions have climbed above pre-pandemic levels, although, last year, increases from transportation and households were muted due to the pandemic impacting global mobility.
- The Omicron variant significantly impacted global mobility in the fourth quarter.
- Public health policies brought down emissions related to households and the electricity sector.
- Monitoring emissions from these sectors is vital as economies reopen amidst high fossil fuel prices.
- Limiting atmospheric warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius requires global greenhouse gas emissions to peak by 2025 per the IPCC
- Achieving this peak is crucial for controlling the severity of climate change.
- Climate data confirms time is running out to make the necessary emissions cuts to limit atmospheric warming.
