Climate change in Peru – Peruvian population learning to manage the consequences of climate change

01.05.2013 - 30.06.2017

Climate change is a great obstacle to development. In many places, it is jeopardising the progress that has been achieved to date. The Andean highlands of Peru are heavily affected by climate change. That is why the SDC is supporting a project in the country to secure the livelihoods of poor rural communities, and to strengthen their resilience to the effects of shifting weather patterns.

Nationally appropriated adaptation and mitigation forest action plan Andean region

Nationally Appropriated Mitigation Action Plans (NAMA) are new international climate policy instruments aimed at addressing developed and developing countries greenhouse gas emissions reductions while supporting sustainable development. Chile is one of the first countries to develop forest-sector NAMAs. SDC supports this innovative process in Chile and – through supporting South-South exchange – the extension of methods and approaches to Andean countries and others mountain forest countries.

Suizagua Andina, a Water Footprint project for Peru and Chile

Properly managed water resources are a critical component of growth, poverty reduction and equity. This is especially true for Peru and Chile. In both countries, competition for water as a key productive resource is increasing and conflicts over water are intensifying. With this project Switzerland aims at contributing to a better water resource management which is one of the most pressing regional development challenges.

Mitigation Action Plans and Scenarios Programme (MAPS)

01.06.2012 - 30.06.2017

Le Pérou et le Chili, comme beaucoup d’autres pays émergeants, cherchent à réduire leurs émissions de gaz à effet de serre sans compromettre leur développement économique, tout en s’adaptant aux effets du changement climatique. Le projet vise à partager avec ces pays l’expérience très positive faite dans ce sens en Afrique du Sud : génération d’une base scientifique solide pour produire des options et scénarios à long terme et négocier entre partenaires économiques et sociaux des plans de développement à bas niveau de carbone.

The SABA Water and Sanitation Experience: Boosting Impact at Global Scale

01.05.2012 - 31.08.2016

For one of the first time in its history, SDC can exert important leverage effects – with little funding – upon nation-wide and international scaling up operations in Peru. The Global Program Water Initiatives decided to support this new generation of projects to demonstrate how SDC can generate added value and influence the global debate. The Peruvian authorities want to capitalize on SDC 15-year experience in rural water and sanitation in rural areas for boosting full national coverage of such services. This initiative is a new generation of projets required to respond: to the water& sanitation MDG’s water related targets and to the human right to access to water & sanitation.

This project will support Peru in installing an inter-ministerial coordination mechanism that will ensure a concerted response of the government to the challenges of climate change in the country. Concrete pilot activities will be supported in three different sectors and three different regions of the country. The experience gained through the implementation of the Peruvian National Strategy for Climate Change will offer relevant learnings from which other countries will be able to benefit.
