Argentina

Argentina is the third largest economy in Latin America and an upper-middle-income country with a well-diversified economy. The specific dynamics of the Argentinian economy over the last decade, with altering periods of accelerated growth and recession, exchange rate fluctuations and high inflation have led to the deterioration of productive factors and decrease of investments in technological change and productivity. During this period, Argentina showed strong commitment to sustainability in the context of international processes and expressed interest to pursue economic, social and environmental objectives in an integrated manner.

The period when the new government took office after the presidential elections in 2023 and rolled out its new strategy, witnessed a fundamental shift in economic policies and a critical position towards the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development and the green economic transition.

Argentina’s green economic transformation has been advanced through strong collaboration across national counterparts, including:

• The Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Security
• The Ministry of Economy (former Ministry of Productive Development)
• The Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development
• Ministry of Social Development
• National Secretary for Labour Security and Safety
• Federal Labour Council
