Climate Change and Carbon Footprint in Argentina

How do we travel and why?

The Argentine Republic is the eighth largest country in the world with a continental area of ​​2,800,000 km2, located in the south of the American continent. The combinations of long distances with low population levels make air transport a highly relevant actor for the country's development. 

Air transport has become a decisive and essential factor for economic and social development within the world economy, guaranteeing increasingly dense flows of goods, people, capital and information.

Thus, the Argentine air sector supports multiple activities within the regional economies and the main economic areas of the country, such as tourism, commerce and communication, and plays a fundamental social role in ensuring the integration of all the territories and inhabitants of the country.

Climate Change and CO2 Emissions

Climate change can be defined as the consequences in the environment due to climatic alterations caused by the increase in temperature in the atmosphere as a result of greenhouse gas emissions.

The consequences of climate change are different in each region. Thus we have droughts in Patagonia with the consequent increase in forest fires. Scarcity of water and loss of biodiversity in the Northwest; rupture of ecosystems on the coast, floods, rains and extreme events in the central part of the country.

That is why we see the need to become aware of our habits in the environment, promoting responsible, sustainable tourism and measuring the carbon footprint of our company and our expeditions.

Avoid first, then reduce and compensate
