The experience of the pandemic caused by COVID-19 in 2020 has shown how policies to restrict mobility, which have forced the implementation of teleworking or reduced mobility to essential minimum levels, could mean the country witnesses a 52% reduction in GHG emissions if they are maintained throughout a year (see Chart 7), taking into account domestic mobility, fuel tourism and the reduction in electricity consumption. This reduction in GHG emissions is accompanied by an improvement in air quality, especially with the reduction of NO2 levels, with values 70% lower than usual.
