Fabiola Muñoz Minister of the Environment, Peru

Interview with Fabiola Muñoz, minister of the Environment of Peru

The Framework Law on Climate Change is the main instrument that Peru has equipped itself with to undertake the transformations that the country requires in terms of adaptation and mitigation to climate change, as well as to comply with the commitments made under the framework of its adherence to the Paris Agreement.

However, it is on January 1, 2020, when the regulation that will govern its application and consolidation into concrete public policies is published to: "coordinate, articulate, design, execute, report, monitor, evaluate and disseminate public policies for the comprehensive, participatory and transparent management of climate change adaptation and mitigation measures". The regulations were approved by  Supreme Decree N° 013-2019-MINAM, and they consist of six titles, 72 articles and 20 final complementary provisions.

This process was supported by the European Union's EUROCLIMA+ programme, under its “Gender and Vulnerable Groups” line of action, through FIIAPP and GIZ as implementing agencies. The objective was to develop an intercultural dialogue between the State and indigenous or native peoples in order to reach an agreement on the administrative measures proposed in the framework of the Regulations of the Framework Law on Climate Change and thus contribute to the participation of indigenous or native peoples in the design and implementation of mitigation and adaptation measures in the framework of the nationally determined contributions.
