Abstract
ABSTRACT This study explores links between NO2 emission and Covid-19 induced decline in consumption and mobility in Europe by using satellite images and various indices. This study discovered that strict lockdown in the wake of Covid-19 reduced consumption and mobility and thus, paved way for decline in NO2 emission in Europe. Satellite images show that NO2 emission is low in countries with strict bans on mobility. Similarly, decline in consumption is correlated in NO2 emission. This shows that despite its adverse socio-economic impact, Covid-19 is a blessing in disguise for environment, at least in short-run.
