Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
An additional 250,000 deaths per year due to the effects of climate change are expected between 2030 and 2050 (Cerro, 2024).
In montane forests in Bolivia, the installation of bird perches and bat shelters increased seed rain and seedling density by up to 3-5 times compared to degraded areas dominated by ferns.
75 carbon pricing instruments are in operation today, with new initiatives in Australia, Hungary, Slovenia, Mexico and Taiwan, China (World Bank, 2024).
Half of the revenue from carbon pricing has been earmarked to finance climate and environmental programs (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).
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).
672 Mt is the total carbon storage in the Dominican Republic, with most of the carbon stored in soil (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).
