📋 Tender Overview
Pucallpa in the Global Agenda, directs cooperation for an ecological park and green corridorsAt the recent C40 World Mayors Meeting in Rio de Janeiro, a forum that brought together nearly 200 mayors and 6,000 participants from around the world, the provincial mayor of Coronel Portillo, Janet Castagne, highlighted the climate problem at the local level and highlighted pioneering experiences in municipal management and large-scale projects aimed at sustainability and improving the quality of life of Pucallpinos.
Within the framework of the Global Compact of Mayors for Climate and Energy, Mayor Castagne emphasized the need for international cooperation for the execution of projects, highlighting that the success of climate policies requires the awareness and active cooperation of the population.
He presented two structural projects for the city, seeking the support of international cooperators: Urban Green Corridors, a project to recover and create new green areas in the urban center, combating intense heat waves and improving urban planning. The project idea has been developed with the support of UN Habitat and is being applied to the Korean Cooperation (KOICA). The final response is expected by the end of November, with high optimism of being positive for the preparation of the technical file in 2026.
The second high-impact proposal seeks the technical closure of the former dump to transform it into an ecological theme park. This project has a considerable investment, with the theme park exceeding 30 million soles and the closure/recovery in the order of 12 million dollars, which requires negotiations with entities such as the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
In addition, he mentioned the importance of developing the Metropolitan Development Plan and the Territorial Conditioning Plan, which must necessarily converge with a Climate Action Plan to guarantee a greener and healthier city.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND FOOD SAFETY
He also shared with world leaders the virtuous circle of environmental management and food safety implemented in Coronel Portillo, focused on waste separation and community empowerment.
The Segregation and Composting Program where the Cleaning Command and its team, by separating organic and inorganic waste, are producing compost that they use in soup kitchens and schools to establish biogardens, generating a fresh food input, as is being done successfully in AA.HH. such as May 11, La Florida, El Milagro and Virgin Mary.
Pucallpas proposal generated great interest, as well as successful ideas, such as Milans experience on tax discounts for companies that donate food close to expiration to ensure food security and reduce waste.
AMAZON CITIES FORUM
Mayor Castagne also actively participated in the Amazon Cities Forum, where Pucallpa was part of the election of the new board of directors. Among the agreements, they expressed a forceful position at COP-30, which takes place until November 21 in Belen do Para, demanding that mayors be taken into account in global agreements and determinations, as they are the first line of response to emergencies and direct contact with the population in the face of climate change.
Pucallpas management was recognized by the Global Covenant of Mayors for its actions in favor of the environment, which is why it will focus the coming months on getting large-scale projects on track, ensuring sustainability and continuity for the next administration.
In addition, it projects proposals such as virtual libraries, zero paper management, and the application of Artificial Intelligence in caring for the environment.
