Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
6.2 to 7.3 kg CO₂e per kilogram is the carbon footprint of coffee in polycultures, compared to 9 to 10.8 kg CO₂e in monocultures (IICA, 2021).
0.26 to 0.67 kg CO₂e is the carbon footprint for each kilogram of fresh coffee beans in conventional systems in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, while in organic management systems (agroforestry) the footprint is lower, between 0.12 and 0.52 kg CO₂e. (IICA, 2021)
1,792 Tg of carbon is the potential for soil sequestration through pasture recovery in the Americas, with a range of 717 to 2,868 Tg in the top 0.3 m layer (IICA, 2021).
Between 20% and 80% increases carbon capture with the adoption of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices compared to farms that do not implement them (Solidaridad, 2024).
Up to 0.5 years of learning could be lost in Brazil's poorest municipalities due to rising temperatures (World Bank, 2024).
72% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from household-level behaviors, highlighting the importance of education to promote behavioral change (World Bank, 2024).
11 days of school instruction are lost on average per year due to weather-related closures, primarily affecting schools in low- and middle-income countries (World Bank, 2024).
Only 1.5% of global climate finance went to the education sector in 2021, highlighting the need to increase financial support for education to drive climate action (World Bank, 2024).
54.9% of LT-LEDS mention gender, and 25.3% include concrete actions to integrate the gender perspective in mitigation and adaptation (UNFCCC, 2024).
93.8% of National Communications (NCs) mention gender, and 63.3% include meaningful gender equality approaches and sectoral assessments to improve policies (UNFCCC, 2024).
