The National Climate Change Response Strategy is Uruguay's attempt to frame mitigation and adpatation policies. It details which sectors are responsible for the national GHG emissions (energy, land use change and agriculture), lists the country's particular vulnerabilities (costal erosion, uncertainty in annual crop yields, forest fires, etc.), establishes sectoral priorities and objectives. It further discusses the sectoral and transversal management of the efforts.
