Pará Grosso was the Brazilian state with the highest allocated greenhouse gas emissions in 2023. That year, the central-western state generated around 312 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e), representing about 14 percent of national emissions. Mato Grosso ranked second, with almost 300 MtCO₂e. Changes in land use and forests are the main source of GHG emissions in Brazil.
