According to Climate Watch data, in 2020 Indonesia produced approximately 1.48 billion tons/gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent (Gt CO2e) of greenhouse gas emissions.

This figure represents 3.1% of global greenhouse gas emissions, totaling 47.5 Gt CO2e.

Despite its relatively small percentage, Indonesia's greenhouse gas emissions in 2020 were the sixth largest in the world, after China, the United States, India, the European Union, and Russia.

A breakdown of the sources shows that in 2020, national greenhouse gas emissions originated mostly from the energy sector (44%) and land use/forestry (34%), followed by the agriculture sector (10%), waste (9.4%), and industrial processes (2.3%).

Globally, greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector were far more dominant (75%), several times higher than those from the agriculture sector (12%), industrial processes (6.6%), waste (3.5%), and land use/forestry (2.9%).

When considering the global contribution per sector, Indonesia contributed the most to greenhouse gas emissions from land use/forestry.

Here's a detailed breakdown of Indonesia's contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions per sector in 2020:

* Energy: Indonesia's emissions were equivalent to 1.8% of global energy emissions.
* Agriculture: Indonesia's emissions were equivalent to 2.6% of global agricultural emissions.
* Industrial processes: Indonesia's emissions were equivalent to 1.1% of global industrial process emissions.
* Waste: Indonesia's emissions were equivalent to 8.4% of global waste emissions.
* Land use/forestry: Indonesia's emissions were equivalent to 35.9% of global land use/forestry emissions.
