La Pampa mobilizes for the climate: a day to think and build action from the territory

On International Day for the Fight Against Climate Change, the Environment and Climate Change Secretariat of the Government of La Pampa, in collaboration with the National University of La Pampa and the organization Sustainability Without Borders, will hold a working and exchange day titled ‘Dialogues for Provincial Climate Action’."

It will take place on Friday, October 24, at the main headquarters of UNLPam (Cnel. Gil 353, 3rd floor – Superior Council Hall, Santa Rosa), and will bring together authorities, specialists, teachers, researchers, students, and representatives from the private sector and civil society.

This activity is part of a global agenda that each year reminds us of the urgency to act in the face of the climate crisis, but it seeks to go beyond discourse: to be a space for concrete action from the Pampean region, where different sectors of society can share knowledge, experiences, and commitments in response to climate change.

“Climate change is no longer a future problem, but a reality that impacts our ecosystems, economies, and ways of life. In La Pampa, we are working to build responses from local knowledge and with a collective vision,” said Vanina Basso, Secretary of Environment and Climate Change, who will lead the opening along with authorities from UNLPam.

The first part of the day will present two key experiences that set the course for provincial and national climate policy: the Provincial Climate Change Response Plan, led by Florencia Ricard, Undersecretary of Climate Change; and the National Climate Action Observatory (ONAC), presented by Mariano Villares, founder of the organization Sustainability Without Borders.

Then, the participants will be able to choose between two work routes designed to promote coordination between sectors:

Route 1: Climate Action and the Private Sector — Participatory space for the co-creation of the Provincial Climate Action Seal for Pampean Companies, a tool aimed at recognizing and strengthening the environmental commitment of the local productive sector.
Route 2: Knowledge and Tools for Climate Action — aimed at students, teachers, and the general public, with workshops on adaptation and mapping climate change risk, as well as legal and regulatory aspects of climate action.

The day will conclude with a Round Table on Local Actions for and with the Climate, in which teachers and researchers from the Faculty of Agronomy will share experiences on sustainable production, soil management, integration with native forests, adapted crops, and new technologies applied to agriculture and microbiology.

Throughout the day, posters will be displayed featuring Pampean research on climate change, agroecosystems, and sustainability, reflecting the diversity of knowledge and projects being developed in La Pampa.

Activity is open and free.
