Argentina has submitted its Third Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0) to the UNFCCC for the 2021-2035 period, setting an economy-wide net emissions target of no more than 375 MtCO2eq in 2030, to be maintained in 2035 (Argentine government NDC 3.0, 09/10/2026). According to the NDC, the emission projections are expected to stay below the 2007 historical peak, equivalent to a 17% reduction from it. They are also expected to represent 1% of the projected global emissions, compatible with the Paris Agreement’s target trajectories.
The target covers the whole national territory, all gases and all emission and sink categories reported in Argentina’s first Biennial Transparency Report (BTR1). According to the latest inventory year (2022), the country’s net emissions where of 401 MtCO2eq.
The NDC also states the country’s intention to partake in carbon markets as long as they do not interfere with its national priorities. Argentina plans to establish its own norms and regulations for it under the framework of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.
