📋 Tender Overview
o This activity, organized by the DGAAE and the Ministry of the Environment, will contribute to the preparation of the National Application Plan on COP Peru 2026-2030The Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM), through the General Directorate of Environmental Affairs of Electricity (DGAAE), participated in the Socialization Workshop on the proposals of the Action Plans for Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) and Unintentional Persistent Organic Pollutants (COPNI), where proposals for action plans aimed at reducing the presence of dangerous pollutants in the country were announced.
The workshop made it possible to present proposals for action plans for Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) and other Persistent Organic Pollutants that are generated unintentionally, as well as collect the contributions and opinions of public institutions and sectors involved in their management.
This activity is part of the GLOBAL NIP Project, which has been supporting Peru in the identification and evaluation of this type of contaminants. As part of the project, a national inventory was prepared that was reviewed and validated in workshops held during 2025, which made it possible to define priorities and actions to follow.
The workshop was organized jointly by the MINEM and the Ministry of the Environment (MINAM), with the participation of various public entities and the support of international organizations.
During the day, the general director of Environmental Affairs of Electricity, Juan Cossio, highlighted the importance of working in a coordinated manner to reduce the risks of these contaminants, protect the health of the population and take care of the environment, in compliance with the commitments assumed by Peru at the international level.
Among the featured presentations, we can mention the Progress in compliance with the commitments of the Stockholm Convention on PCBs in the electricity sector and National Implementation Plan of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, which is an environmental planning instrument that updates and organizes the actions that the State must execute.
As a next step, the contributions collected in the workshop will be incorporated to develop a final action plan, which will serve as a roadmap for the coming years and will contribute to compliance with the National Application Plan on Persistent Organic Pollutants for the period 2026-2030.
