A new study finds Canada's greenhouse gas emissions have fallen by about 20 per cent during the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, the research published today in the journal Nature points out that percentage is less than many countries such as Great Britain or the US.
Co-author Corinne Le Quere says that's because Canada brought in mobility restrictions later and those were also less-strict than other countries.
Globally, emissions have dropped 17 per cent.
