Argentina 2026
Arjantîn
Argentina (República Argentina) enters 2027 with 46.2 million residents, an ageing index that rose from 40 to 53 people aged 65 or over per 100 children in twelve years, and a poverty rate that INDEC put at 32.3% of people in the first half of 2026, up from 28.2% in the second half of 2025. Its risks come from water and from fuel.

01 · Readings
Argentina in six readings.
Six readings that frame the Argentina baseline, and the eight questions this edition answers, each with its status and source.
02 · Sectors
Six sectors, one hexagon.
Water first, then Energy, Infrastructure, Food, Health and Biodiversity. Each count is the findings of this edition in that sector: coverage of the evidence, never a score. Infrastructure is not assessed: the edition holds no Infrastructure finding and its coupling matrix does not assess it.
- WATAv1 finding
3 years Hydrological years with the largest negative Paraná flow anomalies in 118 years of record, 2022. □Raportkirî
Large river basins; record low Paraná flows 2019–22; flash floods in coastal and Pampas cities.

03 · Hazard exposure
The hazards this edition reads.
The edition’s own risk objects, in its order, each read across driver, exposure, vulnerability, capacity, cascade and horizon. The hexagon marks the sectors the cascade reaches; the domain beside each is an editorial reading of its hazard words.

Scenario · SCN-ARG-DRT-01
Multi-year drought with low Paraná flows
Under this scenario, results describe a conditional season under stated assumptions. It is not a forecast, and no intervention described here has been carried out.

- 6CLI → BIOdry vegetation burns in the north-east and the delta
04 · Couplings
How the sectors carry risk into each other.
The Argentina matrix types the twenty couplings between the five core pergalan. Strengths are Nexus estimates from the cited evidence and analogue events; they set the starting graph that the Q1 2027 Foundry cut will test.
| From | WAT | ENE | FOO | HLT | BIO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WAT | · | Strong | Strong | Navîn | Strong |
| ENE | Navîn | · | Strong | Strong | Navîn |
| FOO | Navîn | Weak | · | Strong | Strong |
| HLT | Weak | Weak | Navîn | · | Weak |
| BIO | Strong | Navîn | Strong | Navîn | · |
Water: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Energy: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Food: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Health: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Biodiversity: 4 couplings out, 4 in. Infrastructure is not in the coupling matrix: none of the edition matrices types it, so it carries no value.

| BIO-011 | Arjantîn | BIO Cûrbecûrbûna jîndaran | □ Raportkirî | Protected areas covered about 10.4% of land and 8.5% of the sea in 2025, and one NGO survey counted 94,204 hectares of native forest cleared in the north in 2025. |
| SYS-012 | Arjantîn | SYS Systemic | ◎ Expert input | The leading compound pathway for 2027 testing is a multi-year drought with low Paraná flows that cuts harvests, river exports, hydropower and public revenue together. |
