In 2023, global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from commodity-driven deforestation were roughly 2.5 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO₂e). Almost 40 percent of this total came from deforestation in Brazilian forests, with Indonesia accounting for the second-largest share. Global GHG emissions from tree cover loss from all dominant drivers surpassed 13 GtCO₂e in 2023.
