Latin America and the Caribbean: carbon dioxide emissions in agriculture 2001-2022
In 2022, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the agricultural sector in Latin America and the Caribbean amounted to over ** thousand kilotons.
Most of the CO2 emissions come from deforestation for agricultural activities, and the main sources tend to be petroleum-based products, as well as coal. Agriculturally driven deforestation is often linked to wildfires.
