Did the coronavirus pandemic alter the course of climate change?

Published

on



2020 was a record-breaking year for the health of our planet and its people. But was it a turning point in climate change history? Emissions dropped and the streets were empty, yet CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere rose to new highs. We review the Copernicus Climate Change Service data from 2020, highlighting the rapidly warming Arctic with its 38°C record in Siberia, severe hurricane season in the Atlantic, and the many droughts, floods and wildfires across the world. We heard a lot about the ‘new normal’ imposed by coronavirus restrictions, but are these changes the beginning of a shift towards a lower-emissions society? Are we ready to ‘flatten the curve’ on climate change? Or is 2020 just a chink in the upwards trend of global warming?

Our guests are:
Carlo Buontempo, Director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service
Nathan Méténier, Climate and Environment Activist, Student, and Member of the UN Secretary General Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change General António Guterres
Dr Jane Goodall, Environmental Activist and Conservationist
Oksana Tarasova, Oksana Tarasova, Head Of Atmospheric Environment Research Division, World Meteorological Organisation
