Argentina: Reducing emissions

Argentina announced a voluntary effort to restrict greenhouse gas emissions within a range of 2 to 10 percent below the projected baseline level during 2008-2012 based on three different GDP growth scenarios. Argentina stated that this target would become an international obligation when the Kyoto Protocol entered into force and when new alternatives were produced to allow non-Annex I countries that adopt voluntary goals to participate in the mechanisms established by the protocol.

Date Implemented: 1999
