Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.The project is expected to directly benefit 6,974 people (3,626 women + 3,348 men) through training/capacity building and the implementation of Intersectoral Biodiversity Plans within the targeted sectors, including on-site interventions in 4 pilot cases, yielding a variety of benefits as explained below. In general, by mainstreaming biodiversity into productive sector policies in Component 1, the project will enable long-term production while ensuring the integrity of populations of globally important species, their habitats, and associated ecosystem services, resulting in important socioeconomic benefits. The project will help to build the capacities of the beneficiaries through training and technical assistance. To ensure effectiveness and uptake, the programming of activities will take into account the work schedules of producers and their families, and communities, for minimum interference with the daily chores of men and women in order to ensure their participation in the activities organized by the project, especially with regards to BD monitoring related to each sector as well as sustainable livestock management practices in Case 4. Specific training will be developed targeting women beneficiaries (indigenous and non-indigenous) in the pilot sites to promote gender equality in the management, use and conservation of biodiversity and in sustainable practices promoted by the project to ensure that both women and men’s needs are addressed through the project interventions. Capacity building will also take into account cultural and traditional knowledge associated with biodiversity.In particular, the 4 pilot cases are expected to produce the following socioeconomic benefits:Case 1. Government officials will be trained on EIA and monitoring to ensure no negative impacts on BD related to wind energy infrastructure. By supporting the planning and construction process of wind parks, thereby reducing possible delays in approval due to lack of consideration of BD, energy users will have access to a cheaper alternative source of energy that pollutes less and ultimately decreases risks related to health and associated costs. Case 2. Government officials trained on EIA and monitoring for road infrastructure The improved road infrastructure is expected to directly benefit approximately 2,302 visitors to provincial and national parks where the project will be involved in the design and monitoring of road infrastructure. By removing the risk associated with vehicle-animal collisions and deterioration of infrastructure, these visitors avoid the costs associated with accidents in terms of vehicle repairs and hospital/medical treatments.Case 3. Government and judiciary officials (1,730 by project end) will be trained on wildlife trafficking and illegal hunting control. Furthermore, an estimated 400 people will have access to legal transport and wildlife hunting permits issued by SACVEBIO. By strengthening capacity and control measures, the project will decrease the safety risks associated with illicit trafficking and hunting, and provide opportunities for community engagement through monitoring and control activities. Case 4. Livestock production will directly benefit 24 ranchers in Corrientes and BA, with an additional 400 benefiting from demonstration activities. The project will promote socioeconomically and BD-friendly and sustainable production practices that will help to maintain and improve the biodiversity value of the grasslands and to reduce productive and extractive pressures affecting threatened species, such as the Pampas Deer. By adopting these sustainable practices, producers will benefit from long-term and increased productivity of their rangelands, as well as from financial incentives, thereby providing the opportunity for increased incomes.Global Environment Facility UNDP Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (MAyDS) CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Argentina Argentine Republic -34 -64 +![cdata[Biodiversity]]+ 540639.20 540639.20 540639.20 540639.20 540639.20 596377 UNDP Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (MAyDS) 426200 UNDP Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (MAyDS) 107579 UNDP Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (MAyDS) 2703196 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10094 Global Environment Facility Minimize the risk posed by POPs, mercury and other hazardous chemicals to human health and the environment and to promote compliance to the Stockholm and Minamata Convention in Argentina.

Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.The GEF-7 project aims to generate social, economic and environmental benefits for Argentina and its citizens. Social benefits: The project aims to create significant social benefits for local city populations by applying an integrated approach which facilitates collaborative and participatory urban development, leading to more inclusive cities. For instance, the development of project plans and pilot investments will be designed through participatory processes in each city. This will ensure that the concerns, needs and priorities of residents, local communities and civil society organizations will be considered and incorporated in such interventions, leading to outcomes that respond to social needs. Furthermore, many of the project investments focus directly on making city spaces more people-centred. For instance, the sustainable city pilot in Mendoza (output 2.3) promotes tactical urbanism which focuses on putting people at the centre of urban development. Such investments will lead to city spaces that are more considerate of people’s needs and choices, including as related to those of women, children, the elderly and vulnerable and disabled people. This will include enhanced access to urban green spaces, with concomitant benefits in terms of mental and physical well-being. The investments will also lead to the introduction of technologies that bring positive health impacts, such as building insulation, which provides a more climate-friendly environment, and the consumption of locally-grown agricultural products following circular economy practices. Furthermore, the project will promote sustainable waste management as way of formalizing formerly marginal activities (such as informal waste sorting by low-income groups). The project also focuses directly on low-income and social disadvantaged groups in the target cities, with the aim of enhancing the provision of urban services and infrastructure to enhance their social well-being and quality of life. Concretely, the project aims to accelerate social integration of excluded urban communities through the following:- In Mendoza project investments will focus on increasing public and active transport connectivity to the La Favorita low-income neighbourhood, as well as creating new economic opportunities through the creation of a sustainable hub in that area (output 2.3), while residents of fragile pre-cordillera piedmont ecosystems will benefit from development and implementation of a sustainable use plan for these areas.- In Salta, the project will support the development of plans and investments that increase public and non-motorized transport connectivity and urban green spaces through a low-emission green corridor connecting the city centre to the Juan Manuel de Rosas low-income neighbourhood. It also aims to create new economic opportunities through the piloting of a waste management facility in the area (output 2.6). Finally, through its support for ‘far away’ forest communities, the project will harness urban demand in order to support sustainable livelihoods through production of biodiversity-based products in the ecologically linked Las Yungas area whilst generating socio-economic benefits to kolla indigenous groups (including kolla indigenous groups (El Lipeo and Baritu Aboriginal Community and Arazay Originary Community), in Las Yungas- In Ushuaia, the project will support the incorporation of sustainable neighbourhood concepts, including sustainable construction designs, into the newly developed San Martin neighbourhood. The City of Ushuaia has created the neighbourhood, including with support of the national PROCREAR programme, to address housing deficits and award housing lots to low- and middle-income families. GEF funds will build upon this investment to ensure that the neighbourhood address housing shortages in a sustainable way, leading to greater social benefits for local residents. The project will support conservation of green space in and around San Martin, as well as of world-class recreational opportunities that are enjoyed by local residents and tourists alike. In addition, local communities from the El Escondido vulnerable neighbourhood will be engaged in conservation tourism activities where a special focus on the engagement of youth and women will be sought.- In Buenos Aires, the project will focus on supporting the development of plans and investments to increase public and non-motorized transport connectivity and urban green spaces through a low-emission green corridor in the low-income neighbourhoods in the autonomous city’s southern region. These initiatives aim to reduce the social exclusion of these communities.- In Mar del Plata, mental and physical well-being of local residents will be enhanced through continuing and improved access to multiple natural sites and associated recreational opportunities, including walking and biking, in and around the city. The project is also expected to make a significant contribution towards gender equality (see the gender analysis and action plan in Annex R of UNEP's project document for details). Economic benefits: Through its component 3, the project aims to directly lead to economic benefits for Argentine municipalities, by enhancing the availability of financial offer for investing in sustainable urban development. The project also focuses on creating economic benefits for civil society and the private sector, including through support for sustainable livelihoods in peri-urban areas. On the former, through the development of integrated plans in component 1, the project aims to lead to reduced travel times (through prioritization of public and non-motorized transport) and reduced energy usage costs (through uptake of efficiency measures) for communities, resulting in increased productivity and household savings. The project also aims to directly kick-start new economic opportunities for the private sector. Building on component 2 investments, business models will be developed to support the scale-up of the component 2 pilots with the aim of catalysing new opportunities for private sectors in areas such as transport, energy services and waste management. On waste management, a focus will be directly placed on stimulating new private sector engagement in circular economy activities in Mendoza (through the sustainable hub) and Salta (through the pilot waste unit at the San Javier waste facility). In Mar del Plata, the project’s plans and investments focus squarely on decentralizing tourism through the creation of new (eco)tourism offer, with the co-benefit of creating new opportunities for tourism providers away from the saturated city centre. In addition, the project will support agro-ecological production in an ecologically sensitive protected area buffer zone and agricultural greenbelt, benefiting primarily Bolivian immigrant workers who engage in agroecological practices. In Mendoza, sustainable land management practices in the piedmont peri-urban area will be tested involving local producers from the livestock sector and promoting tourist visitation. In Salta, alternative and sustainable livelihood options will be created through the Salta-Las Yungas Conservation Partnership for local communities and local kolla indigenous groups. Furthermore, in Ushuaia, collective purchasing models for construction materials will be developed under component 3 with the aim of reducing costs for the use of such materials. This aims to lead, on the one hand, to increased usage of such materials, and on the other hand to economic benefits to construction companies that advance in promoting such sustainable construction. Residents of Ushuaia’s San Martin and El Escondido neighbourhoods will also benefit from new economic opportunities (guiding, trail management, etc.) associated with expanded ecotourism in local forest and peatland areas. Social benefits: A second category of benefits, which in some cases can be translated, or converted, into economic terms (in others not), consists of the social benefits derived from increased access to green space, both within urban centres and in urban and nearby protected areas. The project’s support for green space establishment and conservation has the potential to make a significant contribution to the well-being of urban residents in each of the five pilot cities. Benefits are associated with recreational opportunities that encourage residents to spend increased amount of time outdoors in natural surroundings. In addition to physical and health benefits associated with enhanced opportunities for exercise (walking, biking, etc), a range of additional health and wellness benefits, including enhanced cognition, arise from the restorative benefits of nature exposure. As noted, such benefits have an economic component as well, via improved health and wellbeing and enhanced productivity. Environmental benefits: In addition to the global environment benefits mentioned in other sections of this document (see section 1b.6, for example), the project also aims to have local and national environment benefits. It aims to improve urban air quality as a result of the implementation of sustainable mobility policies which prioritize public and non-motorized transport, including through restrictions on private vehicles through pedestrianization (for instance, in the Mendoza sustainable centre, output 2.3). The project also aims to lead to less solid waste disposal and consequential land and ground water contamination through the promotion of circular economy activities in Mendoza, Salta and Ushuaia. Such activities include those to promote re-use, separation at the source and recycling of waste materials, with the aim of reducing waste deposited in rubbish dumps. Such circular economy activities also aim to reduce the demand for new natural resources. Furthermore, the development of financial schemes to support protected natural areas aims to contribute to the preservation of environmental resources and their services. Climate-resilience benefits: Building resilience has become an increasingly important objective in recent years as human society begins to come to terms with the “volatile shocks and stresses” that are emerging due to climate change. By considering cities as “dynamic systems” that need to adapt in the face of climate change, a resilience-based approach to mitigation, adaptation and disaster risk reduction can suggest an array of tools for urban planners and managers going forward. Among the most useful type of tools in this regard are nature-based solutions (NbS), which focus in the climate-biodiversity-human well-being nexus and have the capacity to provide social, environmental and economic benefits (see preceding paragraphs) while simultaneously building resilience to increasingly frequent and severe disturbances. In an urban context, such solutions need to “bring more and more diverse nature and natural features and processes into cities…through locally adapted, resource-efficient and systemic interventions”.[1] Through its biodiversity and land degradation elements, the project will deliver nature-based solutions which, among other benefits, will enhance the resilience of urban and surrounding ecosystems to climate change. These include green corridor and tree planting in CABA, Mendoza and Salta to reduce heat island effect through natural cooling, as well as enhance water and light absorption. Through component 1, the project will also promote the undertaking of integrated planning processes which consider the integrated nature of low-carbon and biodiversity-conservation development, including climate resilience in all focus urban areas. Such planning processes will consider climate projections in undertaking urban planning (as well as other projections such as those related to socio-economic factors), to ensure there is, among other things, adequate policy space to enhance resilience and adaptation to the effects of climate change.

Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.The project will contribute to the restoration of a significant area of forest and degraded agricultural land, and increase the forest area under sustainable management as well as the area of agricultural land under sustainable management practices. A dual emphasis approach to strengthen the management of protected areas is to be applied, consistent with prioritizing policy frameworks on protected areas as an engine for sustainable development, together with the sustainable use and management of natural resources both within and outside of protected areas. Environmental governance will be improved by strengthening the capacities of a wide range of stakeholders, both men and women, to achieve sustainable management and conservation benefits that will go beyond the project's lifespan. Concrete socioeconomic benefits of the project are designed to be: § Enhanced Capacities: 5500 or more women will be beneficiaries of the project within its 15000 or more beneficiaries. A minority of beneficiaries, in line with their participation in overall population, will belong to indigenous peoples. § Sustainable Use: in a rough estimation of socioeconomic benefits, the project increases net income within its direct beneficiaries in at least 7.5 million USD per year, on average increasing their household income by 10%. § Adaptive Management: the participation of new stakeholders in the Provincial and National Action Plans reduces conflict and increases ownership and stewardship, and therefore contributes to the main aim of improving effectiveness and reducing the loss of productive land, biodiversity, and other natural assets.

Key such benefits include: 1. Increase households’ and business’ access to energy cost-effectively. 2. Increase the electricity grid’s resilience to climate change cost-effectively.3. Reduction of dependence on energy imports, contributing to macroeconomic stability.4. Develop a local value chain of renewable energy technology suppliers, contributing to the promotion of a just transition to a low-carbon economy in Argentina.5. Promoting women’s empowerment in the energy sector through the energy transition.6. Reducing energy poverty and improving energy services quality and reliability, which particularly affects women. Deploying L-ERCE in homes increases their access to energy through lower and more stable prices, as well as through increased reliability of supply, reducing the risks to health and wellbeing identified in the PNAyMCC due to lack of access to electricity from intense rainfall, drought, or other threats affecting local distribution networks, as well as blackouts resulting from heat waves or other threats to the transmission and distribution networks. Currently 99% of households in Argentina have access to distribution grids, providing ample space for energy communities to grow. However, a steep increase in transmission-provided electricity is accelerating the need for alternatives such as L-ERCE, with real increases in prices around 150%[1]. Given that women bear the majority of household tasks, these improvements will have significant positive impact for women. As L-ERCE allows a part of electricity to be consumed at the point of generation, it reduces demand to the already overdrawn SADI and consequently reduces the probability of transmission network failures due to the variability in electricity demand (for example during heat wave events) or variability in supply (for example during drought events). Additionally, L-ERCE in industries allows continuing production during blackouts resulting from weather events affecting transmission networks, reducing the risk of loss of income to production and tourism activities. Finally, developing the local value chain of renewable technology suppliers for L-ERCE can not only accelerate its deployment, but also create opportunities for workers, particularly women, and companies for a just transition to a low-carbon economy in the country. These factors make L-ERCE an ideal alternative to face the challenges in electricity sector decarbonization and electricity access in Argentina, while allowing for other initiatives that reinforce the system as a whole, such as investments in the transmission network and initiatives promoting energy efficiency, to continue symbiotically with L-ERCE deployment.

Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.The project's benefits are expected to improve livestock management in forest environments, improving the protection of biodiversity and the livelihoods of primary producers and members of the beef value chain in at least 14 departments in four provinces of the RFPCh. More employment opportunities will be generated, and employment conditions will be improved by promoting decent employment and continuous improvements in working conditions, avoiding conditions that promote migration and uprooting. The project will contribute to improving environmental protection and the sustainable use of its components in areas under MBGI improving competitiveness in markets calling for specific traceability (environmental, social, health), as well as reducing pollution due to less and efficient use of agrochemicals. These changes will contribute to generating global environmental benefits by increasing the area under improved practices to favour biodiversity, through MBGI (maintain and increase biodiversity reservoirs in production areas), and reducing emissions from land use both at the production level and throughout the supply chain. Regarding equality between men and women, since the project is targeted to medium and large producers, it will carry out a diagnostic study to address existing gaps in accessing resources, decision-making and sharing of benefits, also including elements from all the chain’s links. The strengthening and updating of MBGI governance, which considers three interrelated management scales (1) at the landscape level; (2) at the farm level; and (3) at the landscape unit or grove level, and the replacement of Traditional Silvo-pastoral Systems (SSPT), contributes to resilient management at the landscape level. In addition, it also contributes to strengthening governance and obtaining local and global environmental benefits: (i) integration throughout the MBGI-CVCV, identification and integration of risks (agro-climate, market, etc.) into informed decision-making; (ii) improvement and updating of social-environmental information and monitoring systems, through multi-level participation mechanisms and transparency from production to consumption; (iii) the integration of knowledge management throughout the MBGI-CVCV.Global Environment Facility FAO General Directorate of Sectorial and Special Programs and Projects (DiGEPPSE), Undersecretary of Administrative Management of the Interior CEO Endorsement Date ' Argentina 4742966 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-11336 Global Environment Facility To strengthen SLM of degraded ecosystems in accordance with LDN in drought-affected areas in northeastern Argentina Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.Yes, the project has considered socio-economic benefits are described in the Project Description and will be monitored and reported on during project implementation (at MTR and TER).Global Environment Facility UNDP Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development (MAyDS, Spanish acronym) CEO Endorsement Date ' Argentina 2913700 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-11394 Global Environment Facility To conserve biodiversity and restore degraded ecosystems through inclusive nature-based solutions that foster connectivity, ecosystem services, and the sustainable use of biodiversity products.
