A research paper analyzing climate change adaptation plans in two Andean mountain water tower regions, arguing that these plans often reinforce existing hydrosocial disparities and exclude marginalized groups.

This case study describes the process Peru undertook between 2014 and 2020 to integrate gender, intercultural, and intergenerational perspectives into its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and broader climate change management framework.

This briefing paper outlines findings from CDP's forest module of the States and Regions questionnaire regarding the role of regional governments in addressing forest loss driven by mining and infrastructure, as part of the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF) Goal 3 assessment.

This research paper details the development of a Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) model for the Quiroz-Chipillico watershed in Peru's Piura region. The model aims to inform sustainable development by simulating how temperature, precipitation, and land use changes affect the páramo wetlands and downstream water availability. The study concludes that land use changes are the primary driver of hydrological responses in the region.

This research paper describes the application of a robust decision-making under uncertainty framework, utilizing the XLRM assessment framework and the Water Evaluation And Planning (WEAP) system, to manage water resources in a moorland ecosystem in Piura, Peru, amidst climate variability.

This report, commissioned by the UNDP and implemented by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), assesses climate risks and risk management capacity in Peru, specifically focusing on the agricultural sector in the regions of Junín and Piura. It combines scientific data with community consultations to identify vulnerabilities and propose integrated strategies for disaster risk management and climate change adaptation.

This report, prepared by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) for the UNDP, evaluates climate risks and management capacities in Peru, with a specific focus on the agricultural sectors of the Junín and Piura regions. It analyzes the interaction between climate threats—such as El Niño, droughts, and frosts—and the vulnerability of rural populations, providing recommendations for integrated risk management and policy coordination.
