Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
From 7% to 23%, the global proportion of emissions covered by carbon taxes and emissions trading systems has increased (World Bank, 2023).
60% will be the income loss in 2100 if emissions continue at the current pace and the global average temperature exceeds 4°C (Kotz, et al., 2024).
10% of GHG emissions from food systems in LAC come from energy use outside of primary activities (Crippa et al, 2021).
Nearly 9% of total emissions from LAC food systems come from losses and waste (Crippa et al., 2021).
Every 1,000 metric tons of local product purchases result in a saving of 55 metric tons of CO2eq greenhouse gas emissions (WFP and ECLAC, 2024).
2.92% of global GHG emissions were from Brazil (1.45 GtCO2eq), a decrease of 28% compared to 2005 (IDB, 2023).
700 billion dollars is the estimated net benefit for Latin America and the Caribbean in achieving decarbonization (IDB, 2023).
10% of total global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are represented by Latin America and the Caribbean (IDB, 2023).
Between 21% and 35% of total emissions generated by human activity are the result of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (OECD, 2021).
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).
