Arbol y Tierra is committed to sharing the latest developments, research, and opportunities in the fight against climate change and deforestation. Explore our news articles, upcoming events we'll be attending, and curated resources to stay connected with our mission and the broader environmental movement.
Atmospheric CO₂ concentrations are forecast to reach a record 426.6 ppm in 2025, continuing a trend that now exceeds the IPCC's 1.5°C scenarios. This rise, driven by fossil fuel use and deforestation, highlights the urgent need for accelerated emissions reductions and stronger natural carbon sinks in South America and beyond.
The Gran Chaco, spanning several countries, faces mounting deforestation but also offers hope as a global model for reconciling agricultural production with environmental stewardship. New initiatives in regenerative agriculture, conservation finance, and cross-border collaboration are positioning the region as a leader in green economic development.
Arbol y Tierra is dedicated to engaging with the broader environmental community. Here are some of the major conferences and forums in South America where our team will be attending, presenting our activities, sharing articles, and connecting with partners:
Sustainable waste management, circular economy, and the intersection of waste, land use, and climate change.
Global climate policy, biodiversity, deforestation, and carbon markets.
Cross disciplinary collaboration and innovative approaches to Argentina’s and the region’s most pressing environmental issues.
