Regions
land area: 1,285,215 km²
Peru – one of the countries most affected
by climate change
• Adaptation made difficult because of many
variables (topography, climate, biodiversity,
ecosystems).
• Peru’s economy is hyper-susceptible to its use
of natural resources.
• It is further aggravated because Peru is a
developing country
• Most of the population live on the coast – arid.
97.7% of Peru’s water derives from the Amazon
basin, where 30% of the population live
0.5% is located around
Lake Titicaca where 5%
of the population live
1.8% is located on the
Pacific coast, where
65% of the population
live

Selected Sectors: Why?
Mitigation - GHG
Adaptation - Vulnerability
Forest - Conservation
Hydrological resources
The highest in GHG emissions Alterations to the hydrological balance (2000) 110 368 Gg CO2 eq
increase or decrease of precipitation
52.3% territory is primary
forest
Prevents the loss of
biodiversity, controls soil
erosion and regulates the
water cycle
Very sensitive to change in climate.
Used by both the general population and
production sectors.
High pressure by agriculture (80%),
domestic, industrial (18%) and mining
(2%).
Forest conservation reduces
High demand for hydrological resources
vulnerability to climate change
is greatest in areas where supply is low.
Hydrological resources: general
considerations
“International Conference on Traditional Knowledge
and Living Heritage”
11-12 July 2009, Florence
Major emphasis in technology needs for adaptation
Focus on river systems

General measures
Early warning systems
Reinforcement of river banks
Flood prevention
The analysis is carried out
taking into account supply
and demand as a factor of
climate change.
Possible consequences
include:
-Droughts
-Flooding
-Decrease in water reserves
-Decrease in soil fertility

PRACTICES
HUMAN RESOURCES AND CAPACITIES
1.
2.
3.
Multi-disciplinary Team
– Specialists in environment, economics, technology, sociology, politics
– participated in the process of NCCC, social, economic and
environmental development project, investigation, etc.
–
Experienced in field work on a national basis
Identify and cover the minimum-required capacities for project
coordination
Efficient project coordination
– Permanent support
– Strengthen capacities
LESSONS LEARNED AND GOOD
PRACTICES
INPUT, MATERIAL AND TOOLS
1.
Insufficient data
– Invest in gathering “up to date” information.
– Get sufficient personnel/staff, infrastructure, methods. And
systematise it for ease of use.
2.
Maximise support resources
– Assessment of UNEP Regional Centre
– Learn from other countries’ experiences or projects in ejecution
3.
Tools
– Mitigation & adaptation initiatives, CNCC2, UNEP CONCYTEC Database
and other information (policies, laws, etc.)
LESSONS LEARNED AND GOOD
PRACTICES
PROCESSES
1.
Workplan
–
Detailed tasks and responsibilities (organisation); identify actors and roles; focus on
method (level-participation)
2. Establish a communication procedure (MINAM, CONCYTEC, Consultants, UNEP and
participant actors). ‘Be in touch’
3.
Follow-up to the consultants’ activities
–
Concise instructions must be given
–
Avoid single-mindedness (focus on strategic priorities-NCCC2, ODM, Inv Agenda,
etc.)
–
Review the results
4. Define the aims and terms of the project and communicate them to all actors
–
Define the meaning “sector” within the project context.
5. “Construct” over pre existing experience and data, and local interest.
6. Consider the complexity of a biodiversity country in selecting a number of sectors
