Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, Bolivia, and Paraguay are the world's largest GHG emitters from commodity-driven deforestation, a practice that commonly entails permanent tree cover loss. Gross annual GHG emissions from commodity-driven deforestation average roughly 2.5 billion metric tones of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO₂e) per year, with Brazil typically the biggest contributor. Commodity-driven deforestation caused more than half of all tree cover loss in Brazil in 2022, at roughly two million hectares.
