Climate-responsible Peru: force recovery, growth

The document highlights Peru's vulnerability to climate events, citing the severe impacts of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the high economic risks of climate change. It advocates for the implementation of the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) to build resilience in priority sectors including water, agriculture, fisheries, forests, and health.

• The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) between February and April of 2017 caused significant casualties and infrastructure damage in Peru, including 114 deaths, the loss of 185,873 homes, 549 destroyed bridges, and 6,477 kilometres of lost roads.
• According to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), climate-related phenomena are responsible for 67 per cent of the disasters recorded within Peru.
• Climate change poses a severe threat to the Peruvian population, with 5.5 million people exposed to very heavy rainfall, 2.6 million to drought, and 5.6 million to extremely cold periods.
• The economic impact of climate change in Peru is projected to reach USD 30 billion in annual losses by 2025, which represents 4.5 per cent of the combined GDP of Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, and Ecuador.
• Investment in climate change preparation is highly cost-effective in Peru, where every PEN 1 invested is estimated to save PEN 10 in prevented disaster impacts.
• Peru's National Adaptation Plan (NAP) and NDC adaptation component focus on five priority areas: water, agriculture, fisheries and aquaculture, forests, and health.
