This sentence appears in an article from yesterday's "La Nación":

En 1992, los gobiernos del mundo aprobaron la Convención Marco de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático y promotieron evitar "la peligrosa interferencia antropogénica [inducida por el hombre] en el sistema climático", para reducir la tasa de emisión de los gases que provocan el efecto invernadero, en particular el dióxido de carbono.

I didn't find the word "Antropogénica" in the dictionary.
