National Development Plan 2030 - Progress and Update

Decree passed

Plan Updated

This Decree approves the National Development Plan 2030 in 2014. The PND Paraguay 2030 is a strategic document that will facilitate the coordination of actions in the sectoral instances of the executive power, as well as with different levels of government, civil society, private sector and, eventually, the Legislative and Judicial branches. The Plan sets Climate change mitigation as one goal of global insertion for the country. The Plan further aims at making Paraguyan's economic production sustainable. Adaptation to climate change is also pursued through the following goals: Restore at least 20 % of degraded ecosystems; Increase national income from the sale of environmental services (credits by carbon sinks); Reduce recovery costs in the event of disasters caused by climatic effects; Exploit aquifers based on environmental plans duly monitored; Increase the coverage of forest areas and protected biomass (% coverage) forest and % weighted by global biomass).
In 2021 there was an update of the plan. One of the main additions to the updated Plan is the fourth strategic axis, called "Institutional Political Strengthening‘, which aims to focus public efforts on dignity, well-being, freedoms, and the adjustment of axis number three to ’Paraguay's Projection in the World."
Thus, the updated PND Paraguay 2030 consists of 16 strategic objectives, three of which are environmental policies:
- valuing natural capital
- contributing to the sustainability of the global habitat - Climate Change (Risk management for adaptation to climate change and mitigation of the causes of climate change).
- protecting and defending the environment and natural resources
