Peru

New or Updated NDC

Analysis of Updated NDC
Timeframe 

2020 to 2030

Relevant context 

Developing country particularly vulnerable to climate change, due to its geographical, social, and ecological characteristics 

Process for developing NDC 

The NDC was developed through a dedicated participatory, multi-level, and inclusive process involving various actors, the name of which literally translates to “Let’s Talk [Dialogue] about the NDC.”

Description of Monitoring and/or Implementation Mechanism 

For this update, Peru created a multisectoral working group that was tasked with producing technical information to guide the NDCs implementation. Furthermore, Peru’s Climate Change Framework Regulation (LMCC) regulates the provisions established in the country’s law for planning, monitoring, evaluating, reporting and disseminating public policies for managing climate change.

Summary of gender reference 

Gender is briefly mentioned in the Peru’s updated NDC. The country highlights milestones that have been achieved over the last few years which reflect its commitment to combatting climate change. Among them is the incorporation of cross-cutting gender approaches in the measures that make up Peru’s processes for managing climate change. This development is highlighted throughout the updated NDC.

Analysis of Original NDC

Timeframe 

January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2030

Relevant context 

Peru has seven out of the nine characteristics to be recognized by the UNFCCC as a "particularly vulnerable" country; these features are intensified by anthropogenic processes that cause the degradation of ecosystems and environmental pollution. The country also faces diverse threats of hydro-meteorological origin, as indicated by national emergencies and disasters, 72% of which are related to this kind of phenomena (extreme drought and rain, floods, frost, etc.).

Process for developing NDC 

The input for the creation of the NDC has nourished a participatory process that included internal discussions over specific or ongoing viable proposals that are included in sectoral planning, for which existing sectoral plans, programs and instruments were considered. This formulation process has generated over 100 meetings. National and subnational governmental entities, and representatives of civil society, including indigenous organizations, participated to ensure that the iNDC was constructed with transparent and participatory criteria.

Description of Monitoring and/or Implementation Mechanism 

The country still needs international support in terms of funding, research, technology and capacity building to fulfill the proposed goals. The need to support the development and implementation of an effective monitoring, evaluation and reporting system is foreseen.

Other concepts mentioned 
Health, Rural
Summary of gender reference 

The NDC states under ‘Crosscutting Approaches’: Mitigation and adaptation national policies and instruments incorporate a gender perspective to promote and ensure active, continuous, full and equal participation of women and men in the consultation and decision-making processes for the control and access to natural resources, management of GHG emissions and generation of mitigation and adaptation strategies. This is currently based on the implementation of the National Plan for Gender Equality 2012-2017 (PLANIG in Spanish) and the future Peruvian Action Plan on Gender and Climate Change (PAGCC-Peru in Spanish) which is framed in the National Strategy on Climate Change (ENCC in Spanish).

Women mentioned in the adaptation context as vulnerable groups focusing on people and their livelihoods – the vulnerable populations that need to be addressed on a priority basis has been determined. These are: rural populations related to subsistence family farming and/or weak market linkages, many of them grouped in peasant and indigenous communities; small farmers; artisanal fishermen; native communities; small forest producers; and, from a health perspective, infants, women and seniors.

In relation to adaptation, ‘gender and intercultural approach’ is stated as a cross-cutting goal. This involves the formulation and approval of a Action Plan on Gender and Climate Change.
