Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
Less than 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions are covered by a direct carbon price (World Bank, 2023).
45% of current global emissions should be reduced to reach 1.5°C of global warming (UNEP, 2022).
23% of global greenhouse gas emissions were covered by the implementation of 73 instruments (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).
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).
Up to $30 in economic benefits can be generated by each dollar invested in restoration, improving ecosystem services, employment and GDP growth.
