Climate change is a pressing global issue that has yet to be effectively addressed through a common global policy. Differences in countries' climate agendas have hindered successful efforts. However, countries willing to pursue climate policies have sought alternative strategies to mitigate and adapt to the consequences of global warming within their jurisdiction. Latin American countries, in particular, have yet to explore their role in shaping the regional climate agenda.

This volume presents a collection of papers from the First Workshop on Environmental Economics and Energy in Argentina, which examines the effects of global warming on agricultural yields and human health in Argentina. The contributors analyze data from Argentina to explore the relationships between carbon emissions, economic growth, trade policies, and renewable energy promotion. They also address sustainability, economic growth, the private sector's role, and the challenges facing Latin America in the next generation.

The book is of interest to policy-makers, academics, researchers, and professionals working in climate change impacts and policy. It provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by Latin American countries in addressing climate change. Additionally, the book appeals to a general audience interested in climate change economics, its consequences, and potential solutions.

In conclusion, this volume offers a comprehensive examination of the effects of global warming in Argentina and explores policies that Latin American countries can follow to achieve their individual climate goals. It highlights the need for a coordinated global response to climate change and emphasizes the role of Latin American countries in shaping the regional climate agenda. The book provides valuable insights and recommendations for policymakers, academics, researchers, and professionals working in climate change.
