Fati h Birol, from the Internati onal Energy Agency, says the coronavirus lockdown has led to a cut in carbon dioxide emissions across the world. But we need to keep going.

Emissions plunged by a global average of 17% in April – the sharpest drop in carbon output since records began. In the UK, the decline was about 31%. But, as countries slowly get back to normal acti vity, the decline has already bounced back to within about 5% of last year’s levels.

That is sti ll the biggest annual drop since the

Second World War, and much bett er than we’ve seen recently, with emissions rising by about 1% a year.

Emissions must fall to net zero by 2050 to meet the goals of the Paris agreement, signed up to by world leaders.

The experience of the pandemic so far has shown that changes in people’s behaviour – such as not fl ying or driving, and working from home – is only part of the answer. The world sti ll has a long way to go. Even with lockdown, most of the emissions have remained, so even bigger shift s are needed to the way the world produces and uses energy.

Fati h Birol says: “The next three years will

determine the course of the next 30 years and beyond. If emissions rebound, it is very diffi cult to see how they will be brought down in future.”

That’s why the IEA is urging governments to have green recovery packages for life aft er lockdown, with wind and solar power being a top focus.

And Lord Deben, chair of the Committ ee on Climate Change (CCC), says we need new schemes to insulate homes, to raise carbon taxes, to switch to electric vehicles and improve broadband, to help the green recovery and cut emissions for good. He said: “We have to do this as rapidly as possible – this window of opportunity is closing clearly.”

by editor in chief Nicky CoxTHE world has only six months to change the course of the climate crisis, one of the world’s top energy experts has warned.
