Paraná Delta (Middle Region) co‑creation workshop: Strengthening adaptation planning and land‑use management

Summary

This document presents the content and objectives of a co‑creation workshop held in Rosario, Argentina, aimed at strengthening climate change adaptation planning in the Middle Paraná Delta. The workshop brought together local government, academics, and sustainability organisations to identify vulnerabilities and knowledge gaps related to food security, sustainable land‑use planning, and tourism in the delta region.

Using the UNFCCC’s Nairobi Work Programme and LAKI methodology, participants examined climate threats such as extreme rainfall, heatwaves, drought, biodiversity loss, and soil degradation, and discussed how land‑use practices can either accelerate or mitigate climate impacts. The session focused on collaboratively validating priority knowledge gaps, including limited integrated research, lack of economic analysis, scarce information on agricultural and tourism impacts, and weak mechanisms for incorporating adaptation into planning tools, ultimately generating proposals for locally relevant knowledge‑based solutions.
