SUPPORTING NATIONAL ACTION AND PLANNING ON SLCPs PERU

Peru is utilizing the SNAP toolkit to address outdoor air pollution, which causes approximately 9,373 premature deaths annually. The country has established a dedicated SLCP Unit within the Ministry of Environment and is forming inter-ministerial and technical committees to develop a national emission inventory and cost-benefit analyses for mitigation. Current priority actions target diesel vehicles, cookstoves, brick production, and solid waste, with a transition toward EURO V vehicle emission standards between 2010 and 2021. Notable achievements include the installation of 235,263 certified clean cookstoves by June 2012 and the adoption of 145 new technologies in artisanal brick production since 2012.

• Outdoor air pollution is identified as the most significant environmental problem in Peru, resulting in approximately 9,373 premature deaths every year, with Lima noted as one of the most polluted cities in the Latin America and Caribbean region.
• Peru has established an SLCP Unit within the Ministry of Environment's Environmental Quality Department and plans to create an Advisory Committee for legal framework and mitigation scenarios, as well as a Technical Committee for emission inventory feedback.
• The transport sector is estimated to be the primary contributor to urban air pollution in Peru, though specific data for black carbon emissions is currently lacking. To address this, Peru is using the LEAP-IBC tool for emissions data and the USEPA BenMAP-CE tool for health-related cost-benefit analysis.
• Peru is implementing several sectoral measures to reduce SLCPs, including a transition to EURO V vehicle emission standards from 2010 to 2021 and the development of new emission standards for cement, brick production, and transportation.
• Specific mitigation achievements include the installation of 235,263 certified clean cookstoves by June 2012 and the adoption of 145 new technologies by artisanal brick producers since 2012, the latter resulting in an annual reduction of 109,128 tCO2.
