Opportunities to Reduce Emissions and Support Sustainable Livestock Production in the Republic of Paraguay

The livestock sector in Paraguay accounted for 50.3% of national emissions in 2021, with 76.2% of those emissions coming from enteric fermentation. The document argues that integrating livestock development with methane mitigation can help Paraguay meet its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2030. Proposed strategies include improving productivity through genetic improvement and pasture management, enhancing knowledge management via demonstration units, and implementing incentive models such as green financial products and carbon markets. The workshop concluded with a call to form a multi-sectoral working group to develop a sector-wide strategy for reducing emissions intensity and enhancing efficiency.

• In 2021, Paraguay's livestock sector was responsible for 50.3% of the country's total emissions, and 76.2% of those emissions were caused by methane from enteric fermentation.
• Implementing technologies that increase productivity and reduce emissions could potentially lower Paraguay's total greenhouse gas emissions by 12.6% to 50% and increase income per hectare by 66% compared to the baseline.
