Canada's greenhouse gas emissions have fallen during the COVID-19 pandemic

A new study finds Canada's greenhouse gas emissions have fallen by about 20 per cent during the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, the research published today in the journal Nature points out that percentage is less than many countries such as Great Britain or the US.

Co-author Corinne Le Quere says that's because Canada brought in mobility restrictions later and those were also less-strict than other countries.

Globally, emissions have dropped 17 per cent.
