📋 Tender Overview
Perus economic recovery is promoted through environmental sustainability and citizen participation. In an important step towards the economic reactivation of Peru, Senace, an entity attached to the Ministry of the Environment, approved 21 copper mining projects so far in 2024, with a total investment of US$ 4 billion. The projects distributed in 10 regions promote the development of the mining sector, meeting the highest standards of environmental sustainability and effective and informed citizen participation.
Among the approved projects, the modifications of Environmental Impact Studies (MEIA-d) of important mines such as Antamina, Pucamarca, Tantahuatay and Cerro Corona stand out, as well as 18 Technical Sustainability Reports (ITS), regarding modifications, minor expansions or technological improvements that do not generate significant impacts on the environment. They cover regions such as Arequipa, Cusco, Moquegua, Tacna, Huancavelica, Junin, Pasco and Lima.
Silvia Cuba, executive president of Senace, highlighted the role of the entity in economic reactivation with environmental sustainability, emphasizing the importance of rigor and technical quality in the evaluation and participation of citizens.
Senace plays a fundamental role in the economic reactivation of Peru, by evaluating the environmental viability of investments and ensuring that projects are developed under the highest environmental standards, and effective citizen participation, which strengthens the confidence of citizens in decisions made as a public entity, she said.
Communities listened to
She added that citizen participation is key because sustainable development is possible when communities are heard and their concerns are addressed.
