Change in land use and forests – associated with deforestation and wildfires – is the main cause of greenhouse gas emissions in Brazil. In 2023, it accounted for almost half of total greenhouse gas emissions in the South American country. The agriculture and livestock sector ranked second, generating an estimated 631 million metric tons of CO₂ equivalent worth of emissions that year.
