This report by the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) analyzes the systemic use of official documentation to launder illegal timber from the Peruvian Amazon for international export. By reviewing 865 Visual Inspection Certificates and 2,364 Forest Transport Permits (GTFs) from 2015, CIEL identifies patterns where exporters exploit gaps in supervision and transparency tools to bypass legality controls, particularly when exporting to markets with weak due diligence requirements.

This policy brief analyzes the coherence of national development, conservation, and climate policies in Brazil, Colombia, and Peru using a water-energy-food (WEF) nexus approach. It identifies significant trade-offs between ambitious renewable energy and agricultural targets and the preservation of the Amazon biome's ecosystem services, which are critical for regional water, food, and energy security.

This briefing by the Center for International Environmental Law describes the threats posed to the Cacataibo indigenous peoples in voluntary isolation (Camanos) by the Peruvian government's August 2007 approval of oil and gas exploration in Block 107. The document details the failure of the Peruvian state to establish proposed territorial reserves and the deficiencies in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the 2D Seismic Project, which involves dynamite blasts in traditional territories.

This briefing by the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) details the threats posed to the Cacataibo indigenous people in voluntary isolation in the Peruvian Amazon due to the approval of oil exploration in Lote 107. It highlights the failure of the Peruvian state to establish proposed territorial reserves and the risks associated with seismic exploration using dynamite.

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.

This policy brief evaluates the quality of 13 Concerted Regional Development Plans (PDRC) in Peru, focusing on how they incorporate climate variables based on their Regional Climate Change Strategies (ERCC). The analysis finds that none of the plans reached half of the ideal quality score, with significant failures in integrating mitigation strategies, managing uncertainty, and aligning with legal requirements for climate integration.
