Like most countries in Latin America, Paraguay has submitted one national communication to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) with a second one under preparation. Land use change and forestry are the largest contributors to green house gas (GHG) emissions in the country. The emission reduction potential is large and several reforestation programs have been initiated. Paraguay is among the few countries in Latin America without a single Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project, and carbon trading opportunities can be explored. Agriculture is highly vulnerable to climate variability, this coupled with problems of land degradation in the country. A greater emphasis on developing and applying adequate insurance mechanisms can be placed for better management of public resources in light of natural disasters in the agriculture sector. 2012-08-13T08:43:38Z 2012-08-13T08:43:38Z 2009-12 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2009/12/12069316/paraguay-country-note-climate-change-aspects-agriculture http://hdl.handle.net/10986/9482 English Country Note on Climate Change Aspects in Agriculture CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research Latin America & Caribbean Paraguay
