This policy brief analyzes water security in Tarapoto and the Cumbaza River micro-basin in Peru, highlighting that 85% of the micro-basin is degraded. It identifies risks such as increased sediment loads affecting urban water treatment for 40,000 people and water scarcity for rice and aquaculture farmers during the dry season. The report advocates for 'green infrastructure'—specifically the restoration of 4,500 hectares of forest by 2040-2050—and the strengthening of the Cumbaza Micro-basin Management Committee (CGMC) to improve governance and climate resilience.

This research paper analyzes public spending on climate change in Peru, specifically focusing on the Adaptation and Mitigation for Climate Change (AMACC) budget. The author argues that current spending trends and allocations are insufficient to meet Peru's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) by 2030, noting a lack of territorial focus and a significant decline in funding in recent years.
