Coronavirus live news: furious Merkel says German death rate'unacceptable'; Moldovan PM has Covid
The direct climate impact of the coronavirus lockdown has lowered 2050 temperature projections by a “negligible” 0.01C, the UN has revealed.
A green economic recovery from the pandemic could, however, make a substantial difference, according to the UN environment program (Unep) annual emissions gap report, potentially reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 25% over the next decade and putting the world on track to meet the Paris agreement's goal of keeping temperatures within 2C of pre-industrial levels.
Months of empty roads, empty skies and sluggish economic activity reduced this year's global greenhouse gas discharges by an estimated 7%, the sharpest annual fall ever recorded.
But the temporary decline merely slowed the accumulation of carbon in the atmosphere, leaving the world on course for a catastrophic 3.2C of warming by the end of this century, even if countries implement their existing commitments under the Paris agreement.

Brazil will “quite likely” begin vaccinations to stem the coronavirus pandemic in January or February, the health minister, Eduardo Pazuello, said in a Wednesday interview with CNN Brasil, according to a report by Reuters.
Pazuello said on Tuesday that Brazil had signed a letter of intent to receive 70m Covid-19 vaccine doses from Pfizer starting in January
Oman will exempt nationals of 103 counties from needing an entry visa for a stay of up to 10 days, Reuters reports, in a move to support tourism and shore up its struggling economy.
Visitors must have a confirmed hotel reservation, health insurance and a return ticket, Royal Oman Police said on its Twitter account.
“Nationals of 103 counties are exempted from entry visas into the Sultanate for a period of ten days,” it said.
Ukraine will introduce tight lockdown restrictions in January, hoping to stop the rapid spread of coronavirus infection, the prime minister, Denys Shmygal, said on Wednesday, according to a report by Reuters.
The measures, which include the closure of schools, cafes, restaurants, gyms and entertainment centres and a ban on mass gatherings, will be in force from 8 to 24 January, Shiygal told the televised government meeting.

The US health and human services secretary, Alex Azar, on Wednesday vowed to make sure the transition team of the president-elect, Joe Biden, gets all the information it needs to work on distribution of Covid-19 vaccines.
“We will ensure a full, cooperative, professional transition,” Azar told CNN. “I’m going to do anything I need to do to make sure no balls are dropped in terms of protecting the American people.”
India’s health ministry rejected reports on Wednesday that the country’s drugs regulator had declined emergency authorisation for the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine candidate and one developed locally by Bharat Biotech.
Reuters reports:
Broadcasters NDTV and CNBC-TV18 reported that India’s Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) had sought more data from the drugmakers after deliberating on applications made in the past three days.
A source with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters that a decision on the vaccines would be taken “in toto” and it was too early to say whether they would be rejected or accepted.
India’s health ministry denied the reports in a statement on Twitter. The government had said on Tuesday that some vaccines may be approved in the coming weeks.
The Serum Institute of India, which is the local manufacturer of the AstraZeneca vaccine, only applied for emergency approval on Monday.
The SII did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Bharat Biotech declined to comment. The CDSCO did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
NDTV said the CDSCO did not consider a similar application from Pfizer Inc because its US experts could not attend the Wednesday meeting.
Travellers to Norway will be able to undergo a mandatory 10-day quarantine in a place of their choosing if they can document that they can respect quarantine conditions, Reuters reports.
Currently, travellers to Norway must spend 10 days in a quarantine hotel chosen by local authorities if they cannot document that they own property in the Nordic country.
Travellers who can document that they rent property in Norway, or that they will borrow a property from someone in Norway, can avoid staying in a quarantine hotel.
They will still need to document that they have a negative Covid-19 test undertaken in the 72 hours before arrival.
The justice minister, Monica Mæland, told a news conference:
