8.7.9 Japan
Although Japan has considerable amount of COVID-19 cases, they did not declare
any complete lockdown till date. The government implemented partial state of emergency in the highly affected area restricting the anthropogenic activities in those
areas. The CO 2 emission rate in Japan thus remains almost similar to 2019 emission.
However, in the middle of February when the state of emergency was declared in
most part of the country the fossil CO 2 emission decreased for that time by 4.3%
(Fig. 8.10).
8.7.10 Russia
Being one of the most affected countries, Russia had implemented restriction on
anthropogenic activities to control its COVID-19 crisis. Strict implementation of
lockdown decreased their annual fossil CO 2 emission. In the first quarter of 2020,
the emission decreased continuously with time. In January it shows around 3.4% of
decrease in CO 2 emission (Fig. 8.10). By the end of April the emission decreased to
15.9%.
8.7.11 France
France was also affected by COVID-19 related crisis that forced the government
to implement various strict measures like complete shutdown of industries and
other activities. Due to this strict measure the annual fossil CO 2 emission of France
decreased rapidly after the lockdown implementation by the middle of March. By
the end of March the emission decreased to 15.5% (Fig. 8.10).
