Back to Where We WorkThe ICAT projects in Argentina have provided support to transparency efforts targeting multiple areas, such as 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. A new ICAT project currently under implementation is supporting the climate transparency efforts of the City of Rosario.

Status
In Progress
Start date
October, 2026
Overview
The project aims to accelerate the implementation of the City of Rosario’s 2040 Local Climate Action Plan. To do so, it will strengthen and update Rosario’s adaptation diagnostic tools to generate and systematize information on threats, risks, emissions and loss and damage under future climate change scenarios. The project also covers work to enhance greenhouse gas emission inventories, develop mitigation scenarios and pathways, and evaluate emission reduction potential. Finally, the project will develop and apply a methodological framework for loss and damage.
- Enhance diagnostic tools for adaptation
- Strengthen and update mitigation diagnostic tools
- Review and update MRV and MEL systems for the Local Climate Action Plan (PLAC)
- Develop and apply a methodological framework for assessing loss and damage
Project highlights will be displayed here as the project implementation progresses.
Project reports will be made available here as the project progresses.

Overview
Strengthen transparency frameworks through improved arrangements for the health sector, and assessing local response plans. Support the updating of the SNICC website of Argentina.
- Establishment of the required institutional agreements for the estimation of GHG emissions from the health sector and vulnerability characterization of health care facilities in Argentina.
- Assessment of the impact of climate change response plans (PRCC) at the subnational level in achieving national mitigation objectives.
- Update of the SNICC website of Argentina, and include the latest results of the national GHG inventory (2019 and 2020).
- Survey situation status and existing methodology to estimate vulnerability, risk, and resilience in healthcare facilities
- Inception report
- Survey of the status and existing methodology for estimating GHG emissions in healthcare facilities
- Situation status survey and methodology for estimating vulnerability, risk and resilience in healthcare facilities
- Identification of relevant stakeholders and institutional arrangements necessary to obtain the information needed to estimate GHG emissions and characterize healthcare facilities in terms of adaptation to climate change.
- Evaluation of health care facilities with information that allows the estimation of greenhouse gas emissions and their characterization in terms of vulnerability and risk. Proposal for prioritization and scope.
- Systematization of information related to greenhouse gas emission sources, vulnerability and climate risks of selected healthcare facilities
