Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
18% of global emissions from agriculture are expected to be in LAC by 2033, exceeding its share in total production (OECD and FAO, 2024).
10% of total global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are represented by Latin America and the Caribbean (IDB, 2023).
700 billion dollars is the estimated net benefit for Latin America and the Caribbean in achieving decarbonization (IDB, 2023).
2.92% of global GHG emissions were from Brazil (1.45 GtCO2eq), a decrease of 28% compared to 2005 (IDB, 2023).
23% of GHG emissions were covered by ETSs and carbon taxes (World Bank, 2023).
Less than 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions are covered by a direct carbon price (World Bank, 2023).
40% of revenues from ETSs and carbon taxes are allocated to green expenditures, and 10% to compensate households or businesses in LAC (World Bank, 2023).
23% of global greenhouse gas emissions were covered by the implementation of 73 instruments (World Bank, 2023).
From 7% to 23%, the global proportion of emissions covered by carbon taxes and emissions trading systems has increased (World Bank, 2023).
6% will increase direct GHG emissions from agriculture in the next decade, a growth slower than that of production thanks to productivity improvements (OECD and FAO, 2022).
