Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
Half of the revenue from carbon pricing has been earmarked to finance climate and environmental programs (World Bank, 2024).
6.11 MtCO₂e/year was the net carbon sequestration in Guatemala's forests between 2001 and 2023, with emissions of 36.1 MtCO₂e/year and a removal of -30 MtCO₂e/year (GFW, 2024).
13% was the decrease in the total area of primary forest in Belize between 2001 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
148 kha of primary rainforest was lost between 2001 and 2023 in Belize, representing 50% of its total tree cover loss over the same time period (GFW, 2024).
1.80 Gt is the total carbon storage in Guatemala, with most of the carbon stored in the soil (GFW, 2024).
711.3 MtCO₂ of greenhouse gas emissions were recorded in Guatemala between 2001 and 2023 due to deforestation caused by the expansion of the agricultural frontier (GFW, 2024).
30.92 MtCO₂e/year was the annual average of greenhouse gases due to deforestation caused by the expansion of the agricultural frontier in Guatemala between 2001 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
1502.8 MtCO₂ of greenhouse gas emissions were recorded due to deforestation caused by the expansion of the agricultural frontier in Mexico between 2001 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
65.33 MtCO₂e/year was the annual average of greenhouse gases due to deforestation caused by the expansion of the agricultural frontier in Mexico between 2001 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
187.3 MtCO₂e/year was the greenhouse gas emission associated with Mexico's forests, while between 2001 and 2022 they removed 216 MtCO₂e/year, resulting in a net carbon capture of -129 MtCO₂e/year (GFW, 2024).
