11.1 MtCO₂e/year was the net carbon sequestration of Costa Rica's forests between 2001-2022, after emitting 6.46 MtCO₂e/year and removing -17.6 MtCO₂e/year (GF2, 2024).
6.53 MtCO₂e/yr was the average annual greenhouse gas emissions due to deforestation caused by the expansion of the agricultural frontier between 2001 and 2022 in Costa Rica (GFW, 2024).
1.17 Gt is the total carbon storage in Costa Rica, with most of the carbon stored in soil (GFW, 2024).
509 kha of primary rainforest will be lost between 2002 and 2023 in Honduras, representing 37% of its total tree cover loss in the same time period (GFW, 2024)
24% was the decrease in the total area of primary forest in Honduras between 2002 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
1.40 Mha of tree cover was lost between 2001 and 2023 in Honduras. An 18% decrease in tree cover area since 2000 (GFW, 2024).
53.39 kha is the average annual tree cover loss in Honduras as a direct result of agriculture between 2001 and 2022 in El Salvador (GFW, 2024).
Only 7.5% of total climate finance tracked in 2017/18 went to climate change adaptation (FAO, 2024).
5% of their income is lost by poor households per year due to heat stress and 4.4% due to flooding (FAO, 2024).
At 3%, the total value of crops produced by women farmers is reduced each day of extreme high temperature compared to men (FAO, 2024).
