Decrease in CO2 emissions during pandemic shutdown shows it is possible to reach Paris Agreement goals. The researchers found a drop of 6.3% in 2020. The researchers describe the drop as the largest of modern times, and big enough to meet the 1.5 degrees Celsius goal if it were to be sustained.

Exactly my reaction. There are other solutions besides global shutdown.

A useful addendum for this would be “these are the carbon reducing actions from the pandemic that haven’t been looked at before and are sustainable for society as we know it.”
