1502.8 MtCO₂ of greenhouse gas emissions were recorded due to deforestation caused by the expansion of the agricultural frontier in Mexico between 2001 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
65.33 MtCO₂e/year was the annual average of greenhouse gases due to deforestation caused by the expansion of the agricultural frontier in Mexico between 2001 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
187.3 MtCO₂e/year was the greenhouse gas emission associated with Mexico's forests, while between 2001 and 2022 they removed 216 MtCO₂e/year, resulting in a net carbon capture of -129 MtCO₂e/year (GFW, 2024).
0.28% (156 kha) is the land cover in Mexico occupied by agricultural land and 17% of the land cover corresponds to grasslands (9.68 Mha) (GFW, 2024).
3479 kha is the total loss of tree cover in Mexico as a direct result of agriculture in 20 years (GFW, 2024).
151.26 kha is the average annual loss of tree cover in Mexico as a direct result of agriculture between 2001 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
4.89 Mha of tree cover was lost between 2001 and 2023 in Mexico. A 9.2% decrease in tree cover area since 2000 (GFW, 2024).
8.5% was the decrease in the total area of primary forest in Mexico between 2002 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
1.49 kha of primary moist forest was lost between 2002 and 2023 in Mexico representing 2% of its total tree cover loss in the same time period (GFW, 2024).
At US$1,630 million, it was the first multi-country sovereign catastrophe bond issued by the World Bank with earthquake coverage for Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru (IDB, 2024).
