ESTAMOS RESPONDIENDO A NUESTROS COMPROMISOS CLIMTICOS? ANLISIS DESDE EL GASTO PBLICO
Summary
The document analyzes Peru's public spending on climate change adaptation and mitigation (AMACC), finding a significant decline in funding by 2021 and a lack of alignment between budget allocation and the country's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). It highlights a heavy bias toward adaptation—specifically grey infrastructure for water—and a lack of territorial prioritization, where funds are often allocated to regions that do not experience the highest levels of environmental degradation.
Key insights
- Peru's greenhouse gas emissions continued to increase at an annual rate of 1.94% as of 2016, suggesting that the country will not meet its 2030 emission reduction goals without significant effort.
- Public spending on adaptation and mitigation (AMACC) grew until 2018 but suffered a sharp decline in 2020 and 2021, with 2021 recording the lowest budget in the history of the program at 41.5% of the 2014 level.
- Budget allocation has become increasingly centralized, with the national government controlling 72% of the AMACC budget by 2020, while regional and local governments hold 18% and 10% respectively.
- Public investment is heavily skewed toward adaptation (86.3%) over mitigation (32.4%), with a strong preference for 'grey infrastructure' in the water sector, which accounts for 84% of projects in that thematic area.
- There is a significant gap between Peru's international commitments and its spending; an analysis of projects from 2016 to June 2020 found that only 28.5% of the measures considered in the NDCs were being addressed.
