Jujuy climate prevention for El Niño

Overview

In response to the El Niño phenomenon, the government of Jujuy, Argentina, initiated a prevention plan led by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change. This effort involves the Climate Table, a collaborative space including scientists from the National University of Jujuy and the National Institute of Agricultural Technology to translate scientific data into mitigation actions.

Initial assessments noted that climate impacts would vary by geography, with potential drought in the Puna region and convective storms elsewhere. By early September, the Jujuy Water Resources Directorate identified 84 critical vulnerable locations across the province. Director Edgardo Sosa stated that the probability of these weather events has risen to 100%.

Authorities have intensified field operations, such as doubling teams in the Puna to prepare for drought. Forecasts indicate heavy rains may begin in September and October, with peak storm intensity expected between late December and March.
