“…A surprise increase in the number of infections reduces the level of emissions. With this finding we are in line with Adhikari et al ( 2021 ), Asna‐ashary et al ( 2020 ), Gettelman et al, ( 2021 ), Hoang et al ( 2021 ), Kumar et al ( 2022 ), Mzoughi et al ( 2020 ), Ray et al ( 2021 ), Schulte‐Fischedick et al ( 2021 ), or Yang et al ( 2021 ). Likewise, a stricter closure policy or a tightening of restrictions to the movement of people lead to a significant fall in emissions in line with Zhang et al ( 2021 ).…”

“…The effects of COVID pandemic on emissions have been investigated extensively in environmental science. Most of these studies concentrate on CO 2 ‐emissions and find for various countries or cities that emissions decline during the COVID pandemic (Adhikari et al, 2021 ; Hoang et al, 2021 ; Kumar et al, 2022 ; Ray et al, 2021 ; Schulte‐Fischedick et al, 2021 ). Those find that the COVID pandemic has reduced CO 2 emissions.…”

In this paper, we study the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in estimated panel vector autoregression models for 92 countries. The large cross‐section of countries allows us to shed light on the heterogeneity of the responses of stock markets and nitrogen dioxide emissions as high‐frequency measures of economic activity. We quantify the effect of the number of infections and four dimensions of policy measures: (1) containment and closure, (2) movement restrictions, (3) economic support, and (4) adjustments of health systems. Our main findings show that a surprise increase in the number of infections triggers a drop in our two measures of economic activity. Propping up economic support measures, in contrast, raises stock returns and emissions and, thus, contributes to the economic recovery. We also document vast differences in the responses across subsets of countries and between the first and the second wave of infections.

“…Studies, such as Adhikari et al (2021), Charumathi and Mangaiyarkarasi (2022), Le et al (2020), Ray et al (2022), Saadat et al (2020), and Weir et al (2021), have explored different countries globally and found that, though there was a huge reduction in CO 2 emissions during Covid-19, emissions increased post lockdown and restrictions. This may lead to the manipulation of daily data during the restrictions and post-Covid-19 to show a sustainable emissions report.…”

The Covid-19 pandemic disrupted economic activities, which led to the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions due to lockdowns and restrictions. Using Benford’s Law, we tested for anomalies in the world’s daily CO2 emissions data for different sectors from January 2020 to December 2021. We found that the CO2 emissions data were under the category of “conformity” in 2020 and “non-conformity” in 2021.

“…For instance, Barcelona, a city in Spain, experienced cleaner air during the lockdown, with air pollution levels dropping by 50%, as noted by [2]. In China, Adhikari et al, [3] indicated that carbon emissions were reduced by 25%, representing 1 million tons of carbonless compared to last year. A notable reduction in air-water pollution was recorded in Italy, with Venice's water canals becoming more evident than in the pre-lockdown period, as indicated by [4].…”

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which has plagued the Earth for the past two years and brought much controversy along with it. This report aims to analyze how the Covid-19 pandemic has had indirect effects on the environment. The onset of the pandemic has not only caused havoc disrupting routine average and businesses, but also claimed at least five million lives worldwide. This prompted the governments and the World Health Organization (WHO) to formulate measures to contain the transmission and the impact of the disease on the populations. Quarantine measures, movement restrictions, lockdowns and curfews, and travel bans are some of the most effective response methods that have helped the world contain the pandemic's spread. The adopted measures have had an indirect impact on the environment, opening the global community to numerous opportunities and threats. This report provides a critical analysis of how the Covid-19 pandemic has had indirect effects on the environment, examining how the response and containment measures have affected the environment. It focuses on air quality, water demand and quality, climate change, afforestation and deforestation, wildlife resurgence, littering, traffic congestion, noise reduction and changed human activities. It explores how the Covid-19 containment measures have had an environmental impact with a keen interest in the earlier areas.
