National Strategy on Climate Change to 2050 (ENCC)

Category: Executive

Document Type: Strategy

Role: Main

Peru's National Strategy on Climate Change 2015 sets a vision for 2021 focusing on adaptation and low-carbon development.

The National Strategy on Climate Change (ENCC) 2015, which updates and replaces the ENCC 2003, represents the Peruvian State's commitment to address climate change in an integrated, cross-cutting, and multi-sectoral manner. Its overarching purpose is to achieve the "Vision for 2021", where Peru is adapted to climate change impacts, leverages opportunities, and establishes a foundation for sustainable low carbon development. The strategy's scope is based on identifying key climate risks for Peru, including glacial retreat and associated water scarcity, temperature variations, altered rainfall patterns, rising sea levels, and increased frequency/intensity of extreme weather events. It also assesses the distribution of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions across the Peruvian economy. Based on these assessments, the ENCC sets two key objectives: 1. **Prevent adverse impacts and reduce vulnerability:** This involves raising public awareness and implementing adaptation actions at scale. Associated indicators are: increased public knowledge of climate change risk management and adaptation actions; increased volume of private investment and improved quality of public expenditure for climate change adaptation; reduced human and economic losses from climate-linked natural disasters; and increased scientific research and technological development supporting risk management and adaptation. 2. **Reduce GHG emissions:** This objective aims to leverage opportunities from productive transformation in key sectors. Affected sectors explicitly mentioned for mitigation efforts include forestry, energy, transportation, industrial, and solid waste management. Associated indicators are: reduced and continuously decreasing carbon intensity of the economy; reduction of GHG emissions across all sectors, particularly carbon-intensive ones; and increased carbon sequestration and net emission reduction in the forestry sector. The ENCC mandates the creation of specific sectoral and sub-national action plans. These plans are required to set specific targets and detail the necessary measures to achieve the ENCC's objectives. Examples of such plans include the 2017-2021 Multiyear Sectoral Strategic Plan of the Environment Sector (PESEM) and the National Strategy on Forests and Climate Change (2016). Compliance and monitoring are overseen by the National Commission on Climate Change (CNCC), which is tasked with monitoring and evaluating these sectoral and sub-national action plans. While the strategy sets a vision for 2021 and was adopted in 2015, specific deadlines for the completion or compliance of the mandated action plans are not detailed in this summary, beyond the requirement for their production and ongoing monitoring. Key regulation and statute names mentioned or implied include the National Strategy on Climate Change (ENCC) 2015 and 2003, the National Commission on Climate Change (CNCC), the 2017-2021 Multiyear Sectoral Strategic Plan of the Environment Sector (PESEM), and the National Strategy on Forests and Climate Change (2016). Related concepts and instruments referenced include Adaptation to Climate Change (ACC), Disaster Risk Management (GRD), GHG, Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV), Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAS), Action Plan for Adaptation and Mitigation against Climate Change (PAAMCC), National Program for Forest Conservation for Climate Change Mitigation (PNCP), National Environmental Policy (PNA), National Environmental Management System (SNGA), National System of Public Investment (SNIP), Reduction of Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+), and Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF/USCUSS). Various ministries (Environment, Economy/Finance, Agriculture, Energy/Mining, Development/Social Inclusion, Production, Health) and Regional Governments (GR) are involved, indicating broad affected sectors across governance and the economy.
