Claves para un abordaje unificado de las transiciones justas en la Argentina

The document analyzes Argentina's challenges in implementing a 'just transition' toward a low-carbon economy, highlighting a critical lack of coordination between government agencies and a tension between climate commitments and the continued expansion of fossil fuels. It identifies the energy sector (51% of emissions) and the Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector (39% of emissions) as the primary areas of impact. The report argues that current participatory processes are often 'testimonial' and that a unified national decarbonization plan is necessary to prevent further socio-economic inequalities, particularly for women, ethnic minorities, and small-scale producers.

• Argentina's energy and AFOLU sectors are the primary sources of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for 51% and 39% of the total, respectively.
• There is a significant gender imbalance in both the energy and AFOLU sectors, with women occupying only 12.8% of positions in the latter and only 10% in the oil and gas sector.
• Argentina faces a contradiction between its international climate commitments and its national economic strategy, as the government continues to incentivize the expansion of fossil fuels, specifically in the Vaca Muerta basin and through offshore seismic exploration.
• The AFOLU sector is characterized by extreme land concentration, where 2% of agribusinesses control approximately 50% of the territory, and the sector's climate plan lacks unconditional emission reduction targets, relying instead on external financing.
• Current public participation in climate policy planning is viewed by many stakeholders, including unions and NGOs, as merely symbolic or 'testimonial' rather than influential.
• A primary obstacle to a just transition in Argentina is the lack of a unified national decarbonization plan, resulting in inconsistent criteria and disagreements between different government agencies and sectors.
• The transition to a green economy is expected to have a negative labor impact on most manufacturing industries, while the service sector is projected to expand, necessitating intersectoral labor requalification.
• Efforts to expand forest cover and protect native forests may negatively impact communities that depend on non-timber forest products or those engaged in illegal logging.
