CO2 is the determining factor of global warming, affecting the intensity and rate of global warming. Although the outbreak of COVID-19 deeply affected the emission of global carbon, the impact on the temporal variation and spatial distribution of CO2 emission rate (ECO2 ) is not yet conclusive. This study systematically analyzed the spatial-temporal distribution of EC02 from 2019 to 2021 based on one latest near real-time CO2 dataset named GRACED. Studies show that COVID-19 has no significant impact on the spatial distribution of CO2 in the world, but significantly reduce the values. From the perspective of the seasonal cycle, the outbreak of COVID-19 caused a shift in the minimum ECO2 in 2020 from the Northern Hemisphere summer (JJA) to the Northern Hemisphere winter (MAM), reflecting the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on global ECO2. As for the temporal variation, the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the monthly cycle mainly occurred in 2020, especially from March to June of that year. By 2021, the global mean values of E-C02 had largely recovered to 2019 levels as the impact of COVID-19 faded.
