Recent works have explored the ambiguous theoretical links that explain the phenomenon. However, few studies investigate this issue in developing countries, and we do not find any focusing on Latin America. Our results show that, in the region, income inequality influences CO2 emissions, but the direction of the effect depends on the average income level. We demonstrate that at low and high per capita GDP levels, inequality increases emissions. In countries with middle per capita GDP, range where most of the countries in the region are found, income inequality decreases per capita CO2 emissions. === Neste trabalho investigamos o papel da desigualdade de renda nas emiss?es per capita de di?xido de carbono (CO2) na Am?rica Latina. Trabalhos recentes t?m explorado as liga??es te?ricas amb?guas que explicam o fen?meno. Por?m, poucos estudos investigam este tema em pa?ses em desenvolvimento, e n?o encontramos nenhum com foco na Am?rica Latina. Nossos resultados indicam que, na regi?o, a desigualdade de renda influencia as emiss?es de CO2, mas que a dire??o do efeito depende do n?vel de renda m?dio. N?s mostramos que em n?veis de PIB per capita baixos e elevados a desigualdade aumenta as emiss?es. Em pa?ses com PIB per capita medianos, onde encontra-se a maior parte dos pa?ses da regi?o, a desigualdade de renda diminui as emiss?es per capita de CO2.
