Forecasts for carbon dioxide emissions set out two different post-COVID-19 pandemic scenarios. In the Recoverscenario, direct emission levels are projected to surpass 2020 levels in 2035, reaching 3.7 metric gigatons in 2050. By contrast, the Reshape+ scenario predicts decreasing emission volumes, down to 0.86 metric gigatons in 2050.

(gigatons)
Various scenarios for post-COVID-19 pandemic are presented here. The recover scenario assumes governments will prioritize economic recovery by reinforcing established economic activities. The reshape+ scenario includes governments taking advantage of the opportunities initially created by the pandemic while adopting decarbonization policies after the pandemic.
