Adapting Public Investment to Climate Change
As of: January 2021
Through pilot projects in two regions of Peru, the project prepared catalogues of criteria for climate change adaptation in the agriculture and tourism sectors. These catalogues were incorporated into Peru's national approval procedures for public investment (SNIP). This ensured that potential impacts of climate change were taken into account early in the planning of public projects. In addition, the project advised the Peruvian Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Ministry of the Environment and the relevant regional governments in their use of the criteria.
