Argentina

In late November, IIASA Director General Hans Joachim (John) Schellnhuber visited Argentina to take part in a high-level event on urban sustainability. The visit included participation in a two-day event on climate, cities, and sustainable construction, held at the German Embassy in Buenos Aires and the University of Buenos Aires, bringing together scientific, political, and municipal actors to discuss the transformation of the construction sector and its role in climate action.

IIASA researchers collaborated with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to develop a new practical guide focused on enhancing the technical robustness and transparency of climate reporting through the development of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals projections. The guide will strengthen national capacities for estimating projections necessary to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement in Latin America and other regions of the world.
