of opportunities, limit the negative impacts and position Argentina as a
proactive country in this area. The event is part of the efforts that our
country is making to comply with the Paris Agreement, which invites
supporters to increase their efforts to formulate national development
strategies with low emissions of greenhouse gases long term. In addition,
we assume that these long-term visions must be based on solid data and
models, as well as contributions made by different actors in society who
play a key role to achieve them. In this sense, Gentile said the conference
facilitates dialogue "in order to initiate the necessary studies to discuss
internally what should be the strategy of low emission development for our
country to 2050". It is recalled that the Paris Agreement calls for
submitting a national contribution and review every 5 years. Argentina made
its first contribution in 2015 and revised in 2016, committing an absolute
goal of not issue more than 483 million tons by 2030. Also participating in
