📋 Tender Overview
Minam presented information on approach and respect for safeguards linked to the reduction of emissions derived from the deforestation and degradation of forests.Lima.- Peru is advanced in the application of its environmental and social protection measures (safeguards) against climate change impacts on our forests.
In that sense, the Ministry of Environment (Minam) has reported before the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (CMNUCC) the second summary of information on the approach and respect of the safeguards linked to the reduction of emissions derived from the deforestation and degradation of forests (REDD+), in the period 2020-2023.
In this publication, the formation of the Indigenous Peoples Platform has been recorded to face climate change, a space that ensures the rights and perspectives of local communities in climate action. The approval of the guideline to identify and classify the REDD+actions, which is a regulatory framework for the effective and transparent application of REDD+initiatives, has also been published.
To this was added the creation of the Citizen Attention Module for Redd+ (Mac Redd+), which is a direct channel for citizens to inform, participate and express their requirements on the aforementioned conservation actions. These strategic advances will impact our forests and in the communities that depend on them.
By demonstrating our commitment and ability to implement effective safeguards, Peru is positioned as a leader in the region and ensures the possibility of receiving resources to further strengthen the conservation efforts of our forests and the livelihoods of indigenous peoples, said the general director of climate change and desertification of the Minam, Berioska Quispe.
He explained that this milestone paves the way to access payments for results due to the decrease in deforestation and also makes the significant advances in the reduction of the aforementioned emissions (REDD+) transparent.
