Paraguay features a subtropical climate with significant natural resources including vast forests and hydroelectric power from Itaipu Dam. Environmental challenges include ongoing deforestation in regions like Asunción and the Chaco, though forest sector NDC targets are supported by international initiatives. Water resource management has improved via the 2023 Water Information System. With stable air quality trends and commitments to climate transparency, sustainability efforts focus on biodiversity protection amid climate vulnerabilities like floods.

Luftqualitätsindex

7.0/10

Stabil trend

Air quality in Paraguay shows stable trends per database records, with limited specific AQI data available. Urban areas like Asunción experience some tree cover loss potentially impacting local air, but no major industrial pollution crises reported. Government monitoring is nascent, focusing more on water and forests.

7.5/10

Paraguay launched its Water Information System (WIS) in 2023, consolidating data on water quality, availability, and sanitation to aid resource management and identify gaps. SENASA uses WIS data for targeting clean water projects like rainwater harvesting and infrastructure in needy areas. Itaipu Reservoir monitoring supports SDG 6.3.2 on water quality.

Data from WIS helps ensure water meets standards for potable use and hydropower, with partnerships improving access in rural communities.

Recyclingsystem

Recycling infrastructure data is limited (N/A rate per database), with focus primarily on broader waste management within environmental laws. No specific national recycling programs highlighted, though sustainability efforts tie into NDC forest protection which indirectly supports waste reduction.

Grünflächen

Paraguay faces deforestation challenges, with Asunción losing 190 ha of tree cover (10% of 2000 levels) from 2001-2024, emitting 68 kt CO₂e. Nationally, forest monitoring supports NDC targets via ICAT. Rich biodiversity in eastern hills and Gran Chaco, but habitat loss threatens ecosystems.

Waldbedeckung: 35.5%

Global Forest Watch tracks disturbances, with 90,845 alerts in early 2026 covering 1.0 kha, emphasizing need for protection.

Umweltpolitik

Paraguay has environmental laws from 1914-2026 covering various topics per CEPAL data. ICAT supports NDC forest sector implementation and monitoring. Commitments include Paris Agreement NDCs focusing on forests. Itaipu Binacional aids SDG monitoring.

Wichtige Maßnahmen:

•NDC Forest Targets
•Water Information System

Erneuerbare Energien: Relies heavily on Itaipu Dam for hydroelectric power, a key renewable source.

Naturkatastrophenrisiko

MODERATE

Paraguay, being landlocked, faces no tropical cyclones but risks floods from rivers like Paraguay and Paraná, especially in wet seasons (Oct-Mar). Subtropical climate brings heavy rains leading to flooding and potential droughts in Gran Chaco.

floodsdroughts

Auswirkungen des Klimawandels: Limited specific data on temperature rises or extreme weather frequency over 10-20 years; however, vulnerability to climate change noted due to agriculture reliance and deforestation. Precipitation patterns feature wet (25-35°C Dec-Mar) and dry seasons, with Gran Chaco more arid. No sea level rise impact. Recent disturbances tracked via satellite alerts indicate ongoing tree cover loss exacerbating flood/drought risks.

Nachhaltigkeitsinitiativen

Renewable Energy

Itaipu Dam provides major hydroelectric power; collaborations monitor reservoir water quality for SDG 6, supporting sustainable energy and water use.

Forest Protection

ICAT strengthens NDC forest targets management and monitoring to combat deforestation and preserve biodiversity.

Water Management

WIS launched 2023 consolidates water data, aiding SENASA in targeting clean water infrastructure.
