📋 Tender Overview
The Minam executes projects to reduce emissions for deforestation and degradation of forests, known as REDD+.The conservation of forests in our country is one of the priority strategies promoted by the Ministry of Environment (Minam) to combat the impacts of climate change. And its execution contributes to the fulfillment of the international commitments assumed by Peru in its contribution to the care of the planet.
Within these actions are the projects related to the reduction of emissions by deforestation and degradation of forests (known as REDD+). This constitutes a mechanism driven by the United Nations for developing countries to protect their forests, manage them sustainably and increase their forest area.
In this regard, the General Director of Climate Change and Desertification Minam, Berioska Quispe, stressed that these types of initiatives allow to conserve the wooded territories and generate development in the communities that live around them.
In Peru, these projects are implemented with the participation of communities, regional governments, organizations and companies, generating environmental, social and economic benefits, he said.
Through the REDD+ projects, the loss of forests is avoided, which absorb and store carbon dioxide; They help regulate climate and encourage sustainable productive activities such as responsible forest management, agroforestry or ecotourism. This seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, contributes to food security, families are improved and biodiversity is preserved, he said.
Such activities are part of Perus mitigation measures against climate change. In that sense, they are reported in the National Registry of Mitigation Measures (RENAMI) of the Minam, which recognizes, measures and monitors the progress of the country in the reduction of emissions.
This contributes to the achievement of climatic goals established within the framework of the Paris Agreement and the National Policy National Strategy for Climate Change to 2050.
When we keep a forest, we take care of our common house and also protect water, biodiversity and climate. Redd+ and Renami allow us to recognize and enhance these efforts, he said.
Currently, different REDD+ projects are implemented in Peru with the ability to register their mitigation measures in Renami. These have avoided the issuance of millions of tons of CO2 and directly benefit indigenous and rural communities of our Amazon.
