Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
Systematic review compiling existing research on the effects of climate change on Andean agriculture. It analyzes climate variables (temperature, precipitation, evapotranspiration), induced phenomena (soil erosion, glacier retreat, alterations in crops such as potatoes, quinoa, corn), and the vulnerability of small-scale farmers in the high Andes.
50% of the world's tropical forests, 1/3 of its forests and 1/4 of its mangroves are in LAC.
Almost 50% of studies on climate resilient crops identify extension services as a factor for successful adoption (Laborde, 2020).
9.11 MtCO₂e will be Costa Rica's absolute net emissions limit in 2030, covering all sectors (Government of Costa Rica, 2020).
106.53 MtCO₂e will be Costa Rica's maximum net emissions budget between 2021 and 2030 (Government of Costa Rica, 2020).
208.8 MtCO2eq is the net greenhouse gas emissions target for Peru in 2030, without being conditioned on international financing (Government of Peru, 2020).
179.0 MtCO2eq is the conditional emissions target for Peru, subject to external financing and favorable conditions (Government of Peru, 2020).
56% of the departments in Colombia are in the very high threat category due to climate change, affecting the entire national territory (Government of Colombia, 2020).
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).
50,000 hectares are committed to restoring Panama, which will increase CO2eq absorption by 2.6 million tons annually by 2050, 10% more than the 1994-2017 average (National Government of the Republic of Panama, 2020).
