11.9 billion dollars per year is allocated to climate finance for agriculture globally (Smith and Bass, 2024).
Mortality is 8 times lower in countries with early warnings, allowing early decisions in the event of disasters (Cortés, 2024).
7 million premature deaths each year are associated with air pollution (Cerrudo, 2024).
98 million more people were food insecure in 2020 vs. 1981-2010, due to rainfall variability and the impact on freshwater (Cerrudo, 2024).
An additional 250,000 deaths per year due to the effects of climate change are expected between 2030 and 2050 (Cerro, 2024).
20% of climate development finance in 2021 went to agri-food systems (FAO, 2023).
7% of global emissions were covered by carbon pricing a decade ago; today it is almost a quarter (World Bank, 2024).
