How has the coronavirus pandemic affected the climate? Curious Texas investigates
According to the International Energy Agency, global CO2 emissions fell by 5.8% in 2020.

When the coronavirus pandemic took hold, it affected nearly every industry as countries around the world closed their borders to prevent the spread of the virus.
Businesses shuttered, domestic and international travel came to a halt, and commuters became infrequent as most people began to work or learn from home. These sudden stops caused a decrease in economic activity and fossil fuel consumption.
Back in the ’90s, if you had asked Rita Beving if Dallas would ever pass a climate plan, she would have laughed and said “good luck.” But the City Council passed Dallas first Comprehensive Environmental and Climate Action Plan last year.
The plan lays out 97 actions the city can take to help reach eight climate-related goals, including making buildings more efficient and ensuring communities breathe clean air. The city s Office of Environmental Quality is largely in charge of the plan s implementation. If everything goes according to that plan, Dallas will be carbon neutral by 2050, meeting a goal set out by the Paris Climate Accord.
