Resumen
Descripción
This country note briefly summarizes
information relevant to both climate change and agriculture
in Argentina, with focus on policy developments (including
action plans and programs) and institutional make-up.
Argentina is one of the four developing countries in the
world to have submitted two national communications to the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC), indicating strong commitment by the government for
addressing climate change issues across sectors. Agriculture
(including land use change and forestry) is the largest
contributor to green house gas (GHG) emissions in the
country, while contributing less than six percent of Gross
Domestic product (GDP), and it represents fifty-five percent
of the country's export base (including processed
agricultural goods). The emission reduction potential of the
agricultural sector (including land use change and forestry)
is significant and not yet sufficiently explored in the
country. Argentina currently counts with only one Clean
Development Mechanism (CDM) projects in the agricultural
sector. Agriculture is highly vulnerable to climate
variability. The extension and improvement of both
irrigation infrastructure and climate-sensitive insurance
coverage for agricultural production can reduce some of the
observed vulnerabilities in the country.
