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).
157.51 MtCO₂ of emissions were generated by deforestation due to agricultural expansion in the Dominican Republic between 2001 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
0.28% (156 kha) is the land cover in Mexico occupied by agricultural land and 17% of the land cover corresponds to grasslands (9.68 Mha) (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).
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).
123.45 MtCO₂ of emissions were generated by deforestation due to agricultural expansion in Belize between 2001 and 2023 (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).
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).
672 Mt is the total carbon storage in the Dominican Republic, with most of the carbon stored in soil (GFW, 2024).
