A workshop was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on 26 July 2023, to mark the closure of the ICAT project in the country. The project supported Argentina in advancing national transparency in climate action with the purpose of developing effective policies to reduce emissions and achieve sustainable development objectives.
The event was organized by the National Directorate for Climate Change of the Argentinian Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development and served as an occasion for gathering national stakeholders and international experts for the presentation and validation of the ICAT project results.
The ICAT project in Argentina started in early 2020 and targeted multiple areas, including assessing the greenhouse gas impacts of the circular economy, analyzing the effect of COVID-19 on emissions, counting emissions from the health sector and linking climate action and sustainable development.
The project was implemented together with the National Directorate for Climate Change of the Argentinian Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre and ISPRA.
The results achieved through the ICAT project provide valuable information for public policies in Argentina. They also represent a novelty for the region and a good example of the need to advance in climate action in all relevant sectors.
Highlights from the results presented and validated in the workshop include:
ICAT and Argentina are exploring additional needs in the field of transparency that can be addressed in a second ICAT project, to be launched in 2023. It will include extension and strengthening of the work accomplished in the first project, such as the health sector, and further target any other needs and priority areas in the country.
