Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
24 Mha of additional forest per year, until 2030, could store a quarter of the atmospheric CO₂ needed to limit global warming to 1.5 °C (IICA, 2021).
Between 20% and 80% increases carbon capture with the adoption of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices compared to farms that do not implement them (Solidaridad, 2024).
72% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from household-level behaviors, highlighting the importance of education to promote behavioral change (World Bank, 2024).
11 days of school instruction are lost on average per year due to weather-related closures, primarily affecting schools in low- and middle-income countries (World Bank, 2024).
Only 1.5% of global climate finance went to the education sector in 2021, highlighting the need to increase financial support for education to drive climate action (World Bank, 2024).
54.9% of LT-LEDS mention gender, and 25.3% include concrete actions to integrate the gender perspective in mitigation and adaptation (UNFCCC, 2024).
93.8% of National Communications (NCs) mention gender, and 63.3% include meaningful gender equality approaches and sectoral assessments to improve policies (UNFCCC, 2024).
85.2% of Parties mention gender in their climate reports and communications under the UNFCCC as of July 2024 (UNFCCC, 2024).
100% of the agricultural land needed to produce $1,000 was cut in half between 1990 and 2020, with a similar decrease in GHG emissions, phosphate loads, nitrogen, and irrigation water withdrawals (USDA, 2024).
Of 600 million farms in the world, most are family farms, which has proven to be more successful than collective or cooperative farms (USDA, 2024).
