By 170 million tons, the use of chemical fertilizers in the world has increased from 16 million tons in 1960 to 186 million tons in 2020 (CGIAR, 2023).
85.2% of Parties mention gender in their climate reports and communications under the UNFCCC as of July 2024 (UNFCCC, 2024).
93.8% of National Communications (NCs) mention gender, and 63.3% include meaningful gender equality approaches and sectoral assessments to improve policies (UNFCCC, 2024).

11 days of school instruction are lost on average per year due to weather-related closures, primarily affecting schools in low- and middle-income countries (World Bank, 2024).
72% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from household-level behaviors, highlighting the importance of education to promote behavioral change (World Bank, 2024).
Up to 0.5 years of learning could be lost in Brazil's poorest municipalities due to rising temperatures (World Bank, 2024).
142 cows was the average size of organic dairy farms in the United States in 2021, increasing from 109 cows in 2008 (Gillespie et al., 2024).
This study examined the relationship between air and sea surface temperatures, Peruvian organic agro-exports (2000–2022), and food security. It found that higher organic agro-exports reduce undernourishment globally and enhance access to healthy diets despite climate change (Coayla & Bedon, 2024).
0.8% per year is the projected increase in per capita consumption of dairy solids by 2032, which would bring this consumption to 15.7 kg worldwide (OECD and FAO, 2023).
