169.44 million t CO2 eq is the emissions target for Colombia in 2030, with a 51% reduction compared to the reference scenario, towards carbon neutrality (Government of Colombia, 2020).
1,100 MtCO₂eq is Chile's emissions limit between 2020-2030, with a peak in 2025 and 95 MtCO₂eq in 2030, in addition to reducing black carbon by 25% (Sánchez Molina, 2020).
In two climate-vulnerable regions of Guatemala, 95 % of farmers perceive climate change; 81 % report production impacts, but only 41 % have adapted—mainly via tree planting (Viguera et al., 2019).
474 billion will be needed by developing countries for mitigation and adaptation by 2030, according to commitments in 2016 NDCs (Kissinger et al., 2019).
20.3% of the terrestrial and marine area of Latin America and the Caribbean is protected (UNEP, 2016).
The article discusses how climate policies can benefit from land use approaches that integrate forest conservation and sustainable agriculture. Using a model applied to a hypothetical farm in South America, the authors assess the ecological and economic viability of the “compartment approach” (CAP), which proposes a mix of small plots of diverse crops, reforestation of abandoned lands and cons...
8 extreme events per decade experienced El Salvador in the 2000s, compared to 1 event per decade in the 60s and 70s (Martín Manzano, 2012).
100% of the PES program in Costa Rica includes four categories: biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration, watershed protection and scenic beauty (Bosselmann, 2008).
