📋 Tender Overview
The Report incorporates the estimate of the Material Footprint and updates information on the use of natural resources and spending on environmental protection in the country.The Ministry of the Environment (Minam) updated the information on the Material Flow Account (CFM) and the Environmental Protection Expenditure Account (CGPA), tools that allow measuring the relationship between the economy and the environment, as well as strengthening compliance with the commitments assumed by Peru in its accession process to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
Through the General Directorate of Economics and Environmental Financing (DGEFA), the sector published both reports with harmonized information corresponding to the period 2012-2024, prepared under the standards of the Environmental and Economic Accounting System (SCAE), a statistical framework promoted by the United Nations to integrate economic and environmental information.
The Material Flow Account allows us to know the pressure that economic activity exerts on ecosystems through the analysis of natural resources extracted, consumed and exchanged by the national economy.
In this edition, the report incorporates for the first time the estimation of the Material Footprint, an indicator aligned with the recommendations of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and Eurostat, which allows measuring the real demand for resources by considering the materials incorporated in the countrys imports and exports.
To do this, information processed from records of the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI) and the National Superintendence of Customs and Tax Administration (Sunat) was used.
For its part, the Environmental Protection Expenditure Account analyzes the economic resources destined to prevent, reduce or control environmental impacts. This update incorporates a methodological improvement based on the crossing of administrative records of the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) with the National Accounts of the INEI, which allows strengthening the consistency and quality of the information reported.
With these publications, Minam reaffirms its commitment to the generation of reliable and internationally comparable environmental statistical information, contributing to the design of evidence-based public policies and compliance with the requirements associated with Perus accession process to the OECD.
