The Argentine Red Cross is working to reduce the vulnerability of people faced with the effects of climate change in communities where poverty has been gaining ground. To achieve this, several projects are being formulated, with the aim of promoting action on climate change adaptation within the Argentine Red Cross and to implement campaigns linked to the problems caused by climate change and its effects, which will lead to a reduction of vulnerabililtes to poor health and disasters.

The Argentine Government’s installation of renewable energy in scattered rural communities too remote to be  connected to the grid is providing many benefits associated with adaptation to climate change. These communities were especially vulnerable to climate change due to the low technological level of their agricultural production, the difficulty of investing in irrigation, the problem of water collection, their isolation from markets, and their low capacity for developing alternative crops.
