Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic raised global warming issues, and particularly the effect of the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. This is a matter of great concern especially in the aftermath of the forced confinement period, that reorganized the dices. Within this context, this chapter handles the relationship between CO2 emissions, crude oil, and natural gas prices in the time of the critical epidemic. The results show that any decline in the natural gas and lagged crude oil prices downgrades carbon emissions. Equally, as the number of infected people by the disease increases, these emissions tend to decrease. This chapter provides implications for policymakers and governments.
