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).
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).
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).
1.80 Gt is the total carbon storage in Guatemala, with most of the carbon stored in the soil (GFW, 2024).
302 kha of tree cover was lost between 2001 and 2023 in Belize. A 17% decrease in area cover since 2000 (GFW, 2024).
257.8 kha is the total tree cover loss in Belize as a direct result of agriculture over 20 years (GFW, 2024).
1.35 MtCO₂e/yr was the net carbon sequestration in Belize's forests between 2001 and 2023, resulting from 6.29 MtCO₂e/yr of emissions and -4.94 MtCO₂e/yr of greenhouse gas removals (GFW, 2024).
<0.1% (1.20 kha) is the land cover in Belize occupied by agricultural land and 3.8% of the land cover corresponds to pasture (60.3 kha) (GFW, 2024).
5.36 MtCO₂e/yr was the average annual greenhouse gas flux due to deforestation caused by the expansion of the agricultural frontier in Belize between 2001 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
1474.6 kha is the total loss of tree cover in Guatemala as a direct result of agriculture in 20 years (GFW, 2024).
