Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
48% of climate finance in the Caribbean was directed to mitigation activities, 32% to adaptation, and 20% to both (ECLAC, 2024).
USD 1.48 billion, equivalent to 6% of total aid, was allocated to the Caribbean (ECLAC, 2024).
2,220.7 billion USD is estimated that Latin America and the Caribbean need to invest in water and sanitation, energy, transport and telecommunications infrastructure by 2030 (ECLAC, 2024).
Between USD 3.3 billion and USD 4.576 billion is needed by the region by 2030, representing between 31% and 32% of the annual global investment required to meet the Paris Agreement targets (ECLAC, 2024).
Between 90 and 110 billion USD per year is estimated to cost the impact of climate change in Latin America and the Caribbean by 2050 (ECLAC, 2024).
USD 4.3 trillion annually must be reached by 2030 to avoid the most serious impacts of climate change, which requires a 20% annual increase in global financial flows (ECLAC, 2024).
234 Tg CO2e yr-1 represents soil capture capacity with high adoption rates in U.S. agriculture, increasing 1.47 Mg CO2e ha-1 yr-1 over existing practices (Matlock et al., 2024).
100% of the PES program in Costa Rica includes four categories: biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration, watershed protection and scenic beauty (Bosselmann, 2008).
USD 100 billion was the record climate finance from multilateral development banks in 2022, but only USD 2.3 billion went to mitigation in the agri-food system (Sutton, Lotsch & Prasann, 2024).
3.8 GtCO2eq per year can be stored in the soil for less than USD 100 per ton, equivalent to more than 1 Gt of solid carbon (Sutton, Lotsch & Prasann, 2024).
