NDC Support: Climate Strategy and Transparency

Peru's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) target a 20–30% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030, along with adaptation goals in five key sectors. The 2018 Climate Change Framework Law provides the foundation for implementing these mitigation and adaptation measures, supported by the National Climate Change Strategy, National Adaptation Plan (NAP), and Low Emission Development Strategy (LEDS). The Ministry of Environment (MINAM) is responsible for coordinating the NDC implementation process, including developing sectoral plans and establishing a monitoring system for reporting to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The project supports MINAM’s coordination role, sectoral ministries, regional governments, and indigenous communities. Dorsch Impact focuses on Outcome III, establishing a national transparency framework aligned with the UNFCCC’s Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) for monitoring and reporting on mitigation and adaptation measures – Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRE) and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E).
