Analysis

The most recent figure for energy — emissions share in Brazil is 30.68 %, measured in 2023.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.8% on the previous year and down 47.7% over ten years.

Over the whole period, energy — emissions share in Brazil peaked at 60.25 % in 2014 and was at its lowest, 11.56 %, in 1990.

That places Brazil 186th out of 221 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the bottom quarter.

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