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).
157.51 MtCO₂ of emissions were generated by deforestation due to agricultural expansion in the Dominican Republic between 2001 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
672 Mt is the total carbon storage in the Dominican Republic, with most of the carbon stored in soil (GFW, 2024).
123.45 MtCO₂ of emissions were generated by deforestation due to agricultural expansion in Belize between 2001 and 2023 (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).
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).
257.8 kha is the total tree cover loss in Belize as a direct result of agriculture over 20 years (GFW, 2024).
11.20 kha is the average annual tree cover loss in Belize as a direct result of agriculture between 2001 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
