Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
75 carbon pricing instruments are in operation today, with new initiatives in Australia, Hungary, Slovenia, Mexico and Taiwan, China (World Bank, 2024).
7% of global emissions were covered by carbon pricing a decade ago; today it is almost a quarter (World Bank, 2024).
3% of the world's territory is occupied by cities, but they consume up to 80% of energy and generate 75% of carbon emissions (UN, 2023).
31% represents the increase experienced by flows destined for environmental protection during the decade between 2011 and 2021 in LAC (ECLAC. et al, 2024).
15.20 kha is the average annual tree cover loss in the Dominican Republic as a direct result of agriculture between 2001 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
157.51 MtCO₂ of emissions were generated by deforestation due to agricultural expansion in the Dominican Republic between 2001 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
6.84 MtCO₂e/year was the annual average of greenhouse gases due to deforestation caused by the expansion of the agricultural frontier in the Dominican Republic between 2001 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
4.64 MtCO₂e/year was the net carbon sequestration in the Dominican Republic's forests between 2001 and 2023, after absorbing 12.0 MtCO₂e/year and emitting 7.37 MtCO₂e/year (GFW, 2024).
0.90% (28.5 kha) is the land cover in the Dominican Republic occupied by agricultural land and 17% of the land cover is grassland (554 kha) (GFW, 2024).
8.2% was the decrease in the total area of primary forest in the Dominican Republic between 2001 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
