57% of GHG emissions in the Southern Cone and Bolivia come from the AFOLU sector, with livestock as the main source of methane (Muñoz G. & Gauna D., 2024).
La contribución del sector AFOLU (Agricultura, Ganadería, Silvicultura y otros Usos de la Tierra) de Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay y Bolivia a las emisiones totales de GEI van desde el 11% en Chile al 81% en Paraguay, siendo el 57% si miramos a la región del CAS como un todo. Es por esta razón que el sector AFOLU y, en particular, la ganadería por el peso del metano en el total de emisiones (la distribución regional es 61% metano; 25% óxido nitroso y 14% dióxido de carbono), tiene un rol relevante en la lucha contra el cambio climático.
