ENANDES+ (Enhancing Adaptive Capacity of Andean Communities through Climate Services)
The ENANDES+ project supports six Andean countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru) in their climate adaptation and resilience efforts, expanding the scope of the original ENANDES project implemented by the WMO through the Adaptation Fund. The initiative aims to improve the capacity of communities and productive sectors to adapt to climate variability and change by strengthening hydrometeorological services, early warning systems, and the co-design of local adaptation practices. It includes country-specific components, such as the development of an early warning system for floods in the binational Pilcomayo River basin (Argentina-Bolivia), frost alerts for small-scale family farmers in Ecuador, and the strengthening of technical knowledge in Peru.
Nitrogen Optimization: Strategies for Addressing the Climate Crisis in Food Production
This project establishes a technical network across five countries (including the Dominican Republic and Panama) to optimize the use of nitrogen fertilizers through the 4R strategy. Its goal is to increase food productivity and reduce $N_{2}O$ emissions by developing common protocols and local emission factors (Tier 2). The results will strengthen national GHG inventories and promote public policies for sustainability and climate resilience in the region.
Integrating sorghum cultivation into agricultural systems in the Central American Dry Corridor
The project establishes a regional partnership for the sustainable intensification of the Dry Corridor through the integration of climate-resilient sorghum and forage crop genotypes. Through soil characterization and a digital recommendation platform, the project aims to increase productivity and water availability in vulnerable agricultural systems. The initiative, funded by the Government of New Zealand (GRA), will transfer technical knowledge and precision technology to producers, advisors, and students in the region.

Treaty of Asunción for the Establishment of a Common Market
The Treaty of Asunción for the Establishment of a Common Market was signed on March 26, 1991 by the Argentine Republic, the Federative Republic of Brazil, the Republic of Paraguay and the Eastern Republic of Uruguay. According to the official MERCOSUR source, this treaty laid the foundations for the creation of the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR). The framework is part of the founding legal body of the regional integration process and established the initial legal and institutional basis of the bloc.
