Analysis

Brazil recorded 139.44 billion tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change in 2024. That is the highest value across all 169 years on record.

That represents a change of up 1.5% on the previous year and up 15.5% over ten years.

Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change in Brazil peaked at 139.44 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 35.22 million tonnes, in 1856.

Brazil ranks 4th 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.
