Brazil Reports Third Consecutive Year of Declining Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Brazil's greenhouse gas emissions fell for the third consecutive year in 2026, driven by reduced deforestation and increased renewable energy use. The report, published by Folha de S.Paulo and Universo Online, cited data from Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE). The decline highlights progress in aligning with international climate agreements.

Greenhouse gas emissions in Brazil dropped by 4.2% compared to the previous year, marking the third consecutive annual decline. The reduction is attributed to lower deforestation rates and a shift toward renewable energy sources, particularly hydroelectric and wind power, which saw a 6.5% decrease in emissions. The Brazilian Ministry of the Environment released the findings as part of its annual climate change assessment.
