19% is the calculation for the reduction in global income over the next 26 years due to climate impacts (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).
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)

1.67% (185 kha) of Honduras' land area is dedicated to oil palm cultivation, the second largest after fruit crops with 0.07% (7.84 kha) (GFW, 2024).
29.1 MtCO₂e/yr was the emission of Honduras' forests, while they absorbed 33.8 MtCO₂e/yr between 2001-2022, resulting in a net sequestration of -4.70 MtCO₂e/yr (GF2, 2024).
