📋 Tender Overview
The IGP initiative is valued as a key scientific basis to strengthen decision-making and climate action at all levels of government.The Observatory of Scientific Knowledge on Climate Change of Peru - Climate Science, led by the Geophysical Institute of Peru (IGP), an organization attached to the Ministry of the Environment (MINAM), was recognized by the Government in the new Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC 3.0), presented to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
The institutional head of the IGP, Hernando Tavera, highlighted that the official document highlights how the Observatory translates scientific knowledge into useful information for climate management, helping national, regional and local governments to make more informed decisions and incorporate science into their public policies.
He added that this recognition highlights the role of the Observatory as a key scientific tool to strengthen climate action in Peru until 2035. Although there is a lot of scientific research carried out in Peru, we are finally achieving that this is considered as a basis for more effective public management, said Dr. Ken Takahashi, head of the Observatory.
A concrete example is the recently approved Tacna Regional Climate Change Strategy, which was developed based on 61 interpretations of scientific results carried out by 42 interpreters - including researchers, teachers and students from the region - who make up the Observatory.
Likewise, the IGP advises on the updating of regional strategies in Junin, Puno, Huancavelica, Ayacucho and Piura, as well as the Local Climate Change Plan of Satipo (Junin).
The IGP reaffirms its commitment to continue generating cutting-edge science and technology to confront climate change and build a more resilient, sustainable and knowledge-based Peru.
