    It is difficult to predict the long-term effects of COVID-19 on global greenhouse gas emissions due to virus mutations and vaccination rates. However, it is estimated that by 2025, COVID-19 response measures will cause reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in most countries. India will see large reductions in emissions and material use due to changes in its energy system. While reduced emissions and economic losses will fade by 2040 globally, developed OECD countries may continue to see reduced emissions outpace GDP impacts due to shifts to cleaner sectors during the pandemic. In summary, fully evaluating the pandemic's impacts on emissions is not currently possible given its enormous and complex nature.

    For a fact, it is very difficult to predict the long-run

    effects of COVID-19 on GHG emissions throughout


    the world considering the rapid mutations in virus
    and how the extent of vaccination will bring the
    pandemic under control (Gautam and Hens, 2020).
    However, it is being estimated that in the short run
    (by 2025), the COVID-19 and response measures
    would cause regional decline in the GHG emissions
    in almost all the countries (OECD, 2021). More
    interestingly, the GHG emissions and material use
    in India will also face large reductions in India
    owing to the influence of energy systems. On the
    other hand, by the year 2040, both reduced GHG
    emissions and economic losses will be partly faded
    away globally with some significant lessons from the
    pandemic. Particularly, the regions with
    Organization for Economic Co-operation and
    Development (OECD) will continue to outstrip
    gross domestic product (GDP) impacts with reduced
    emissions level due to specialized economies with
    clean sectors ascribed to the COVID-19 pandemic
    and response measures. To summarize, the real-
    time evaluation of the impacts of COVID-19
    pandemic on GHG emissions is far from being
    possible with the current disaster of epic proportion
    and great complexity.
