Argentina’s government is preparing a decree to amend the National Glacier Law , aiming to allow industrial activities, mining, and oil or gas exploration in periglacial zones. President Javier Milei’s government administration sustains that environmental controls will remain while giving provinces greater autonomy. Critics doubt those claims. A similar initiative was previously dropped from the ‘Ley de Bases’ bill due to lack of political consensus.
