Environmental initiatives in Argentina and Guatemala

Overview

Environmental efforts in Argentina and Guatemala have progressed from policy and certification initiatives toward specific ecological management and investigation tasks.

In Argentina, initial efforts focused on the ‘Hoteles más Verdes’ program, which awards sustainability certifications to hospitality establishments to promote responsible destination development. Subsequently, focus shifted to urban management, with the energy company Enersa conducting training in Gualeguay and Villa Paranacito regarding urban tree management and its impact on electrical networks.

In Guatemala, the government began updating its national Forestry Policy to address forest degradation and modern environmental challenges. More recently, the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (MARN) has launched an investigation into a reddish discoloration in the Las Vacas River, collecting samples from drainage points in Guatemala City to identify the source and responsible parties.
