Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
360,000 hectares in Guatemala’s Dry Corridor were affected by the lack of rainfall associated with the El Niño phenomenon, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAGA) (WFP, 2024).
25% to 75% crop losses were recorded in areas with Action Against Hunger projects in Guatemala during 2023, due to drought conditions associated with the El Niño phenomenon. Agricultural losses exceeded 75% in some affected areas.
Nearly 9% of total emissions from LAC food systems come from losses and waste (Crippa et al., 2021).
10% of GHG emissions from food systems in LAC come from energy use outside of primary activities (Crippa et al, 2021).
19% is the calculation for the reduction in global income over the next 26 years due to climate impacts (Kotz, et al., 2024).
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).
22% would be the reduction in per capita income in South Asia and Africa due to climate impacts, being the most affected regions (Kotz, et. al., 2024)
$6 trillion dollars (2005 prices) is the difference in cost between climate damages and mitigation costs in 2050 (Kotz, et. al., 2024).
More than 10% of annual investments worldwide are made by National Development Finance Institutions (World Bank, 2024).
29.1 MtCO₂e/yr was the emission of Honduras' forests, while they absorbed 33.8 MtCO₂e/yr between 2001-2022, resulting in a net sequestration of -4.70 MtCO₂e/yr (GF2, 2024).
