Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
The conversion of grasslands and wetlands to agriculture is progressing almost 4 times faster than deforestation worldwide (Kan et al., 2026).
Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia, Ethiopia and Indonesia face an average of 144 days a year with heat that is harmful to coffee, almost four months under heat stress (El País, 2026).
1.5°C was the temperature increase limit reaffirmed at COP27 (CAF, 2023).
1,250 hectares are under management or recovery processes in Amazonian ecosystems of Peru, integrating ecological restoration actions and sustainable forest management practices documented across various experiences in the country (SERFOR, 2018).
500 hectares were restored in andean areas of Peru, reflecting the progress made in the recovery of high-Andean ecosystems and the implementation of sustainable management practices documented across multiple restoration experiences (SERFOR, 2018).
3,000 hectares were rehabilitated through agroforestry systems in various regions of Peru, combining forest species and crops to restore degraded soils and strengthen the livelihoods of local communities, according to documented experiences (SERFOR, 2018).
$12 million will be allocated by CAF and the Adaptation Fund to support local governments of the BiodiverCities Network in climate adaptation (CAF, 2025).
75% of global murders of environmental defenders occur in Latin America, highlighting high risks to the protection of ecosystems (CAF, 2025).
Millions of hectares restored through the 20x20 Initiative show how mixed financing complements regional climate goals (CAF, 2025).
20.29 °C was the global average temperature recorded in 2024, with an anomaly of +1.18 °C (SENAMHI, 2024). This thermal increase is reflected in Peru through a higher frequency and intensity of droughts, floods, heat waves, cold spells, and landslides, affecting ecosystems, infrastructure, and productive sectors.
