TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe and synthesize data sets and methodology to quantify the five major components of the global carbon budget and their uncertainties, including emissions from land use and land-use change data and bookkeeping models.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compile government policies and activity data to estimate the decrease in CO2 emissions during forced confinements during the COVID-19 pandemic, which drastically altered patterns of energy demand around the world.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe data sets and methodology to quantify the five major components of the global carbon budget and their uncertainties, including emissions from land use and land use change, and show that the difference between the estimated total emissions and the estimated changes in the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial biosphere is a measure of imperfect data and understanding of the contemporary carbon cycle.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a comprehensive dataset of pyrogenic carbon production factors from field and experimental fires and merge this with the Global Fire Emissions Database to quantify the global pyrogenicity.

TL;DR: In the post-COVID-19 era, growth in global CO2 emissions has begun to falter as mentioned in this paper, and strong policy is needed to address underlying drivers and to sustain a decline in global emissions beyond the current crisis.
