Senior Analyst
Alfredo Rivera is a Senior Analyst in Rhodium's Energy & Climate practice, focusing on international energy and climate issues.
Energy & ClimateAlfredo leads Rhodium’s global modeling of non-CO2 gases and global temperature rise. During his time at Rhodium, he has led a broad spectrum of analysis of US and international policy developments made available through the ClimateDeck. His work spans annual country-level emissions inventories, emissions estimates for major economies, and state-level emissions projections from our Taking Stock report.
Before Rhodium, he contributed to solar energy projects and climate policy analysis in the US-Mexico border region and rural Thailand. As an Energy Advisor for the Mexican House of Representatives, he worked on oil resource and climate change strategies. Alfredo holds a Bachelor’s in Economics from the Instituto Tecnologico Autonomo de Mexico and a Master’s in Public Policy from UC Berkeley, specializing in energy economics.
Note
We estimate that global GHG emissions rose in 2023 by 1.2% over the previous year, reaching 51.8 gigatons of CO2-equivalent on net. This follows a 1.0% increase in 2022 as countries recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic disruptions of 2020.
Report
The likely evolution of global greenhouse gas emissions and temperature rise through the end of the century, and energy trends in the world's major economies
Note
After two years of emissions growth, while the country rebounded from the pandemic, we estimate that emissions were down 1.9% year-on-year in 2023.
Report
We provide probabilistic projections of the likely evolution of global emissions and temperature rise through the end of the century.
