Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
USD 4.3 trillion in 2030 could be generated in health, economic and environmental benefits by investing in low-emission agriculture and land-use transformation, with a 16 to 1 return on costs (Sutton, Lotsch & Prasann, 2024).
16% is the emissions reduction that Honduras is committed to achieve by 2030, with targets in key sectors and the restoration of 1.3 million hectares of forest (World Bank, 2023).
$6 trillion dollars (2005 prices) is the difference in cost between climate damages and mitigation costs in 2050 (Kotz, et. al., 2024).
22% would be the reduction in per capita income in South Asia and Africa due to climate impacts, being the most affected regions (Kotz, et. al., 2024)
60% will be the income loss in 2100 if emissions continue at the current pace and the global average temperature exceeds 4°C (Kotz, et al., 2024).
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).
Every 1,000 metric tons of local product purchases result in a saving of 55 metric tons of CO2eq greenhouse gas emissions (WFP and ECLAC, 2024).
3.1% of regional GDP is the necessary investment that Latin America and the Caribbean must make in mitigation and adaptation infrastructure between 2015 and 2030 (ECLAC, 2024).
22.9 billion dollars (0.5% of GDP) was the investment to finance climate action in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2020 (ECLAC, 2024).
3.7% to 4.9% of regional GDP is the average annual investment needed between 2023 and 2030 to meet climate commitments, equivalent to a cumulative investment of between US$2.1 and 2.8 trillion (ECLAC, 2024).
