Climate change in Argentina

Averaged over the whole country, the last ten years (2016–2025) were 0.9 °C warmer than 1951–1980 according to Copernicus ERA5 — about as fast as the global average of 1.1 °C over the same period. Land areas warm faster than the oceans, so most countries warm faster than the global figure.

Climate models project Argentina to be about 1.2 °C warmer in 2040–2059 than in 1995–2014 under an intermediate scenario (SSP2-4.5; model range 0.7–1.5 °C), and 1.4 °C under very high emissions (SSP5-8.5).

Argentina emitted 171 million tonnes of CO₂ from fossil fuels and industry in 2024, 0.4% of the global total, or 3.7 tonnes per person — 79% of the world average. Historically it has emitted 0.5% of all CO₂ since 1750.
