Analysis

Brazil recorded 2.08 billion tonnes for annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in 2024.

The figure is down 0.2% on the previous year and up 11.1% over ten years.

Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in Brazil peaked at 3.34 billion tonnes in 2003 and was at its lowest, 35.22 million tonnes, in 1856.

Brazil ranks 5th of 194 countries on this measure, in the top 10%.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
