MULTISECTORAL DIALOGUE about the Regulation of the Climate Change Framework Law

The report details a two-day training workshop held in Lima in September 2018 for 21 regional communicators from across Peru. The event focused on translating technical climate change concepts and the 2018 Framework Law on Climate Change into accessible public narratives. Participants identified gaps in current media coverage, such as a tendency toward alarmism and a lack of political focus on climate issues, and proposed the creation of a National Network of Communicators on Climate Change to institutionalize environmental reporting. The workshop included a visit to the 'Voces por el Clima' ecological park and a press conference with the Minister of the Environment.

• The workshop aimed to train regional media communicators to effectively disseminate information and raise awareness about climate change, specifically focusing on the Framework Law on Climate Change and the participatory process for its regulation.
• Regional journalists identified several failures in current climate communication, including the confusion of technical concepts, a lack of use of the term 'climate change', and a tendency for some media to use an 'alarmist and sensationalist approach' because the topic alone 'does not sell'.
• Participants proposed shifting the narrative of climate change from one of hazard and damage to one of opportunity and positive action, suggesting headlines that highlight economic benefits, such as clean energy savings in Arequipa or ecotourism profits in Loreto.
• The report recommends the institutionalization of climate change communication through the creation of a Network of communicators at local and national levels to support the implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions and the Framework Law on Climate Change.
• The workshop included a visit to 'Voces por el Clima', described as the first theme park on climate change in South America, which serves as a space for dialogue and learning on five key themes: Forests, Mountains and Water, Oceans, Energy and Sustainable Cities.
• The event was hosted by the Ministry of the Environment of Peru and funded by the United States In-Country National Adaptation Plan (NAP) Support Program, implemented by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD).
