(compared to business as usual)
The highest emissions reduction target, conditional or unconditional, included in the country’s latest NDC. NDC Status
Peru submitted its revised NDC in December 2020.
Key highlights from the NDC
- Peru established more ambition in its updated NDC, increasing its mitigation goal from 30% to 40% against the BAU scenario in 2030 and indicating an absolute target number in terms of the amount of CO2 equivalent (not exceeding 179 MtCO2e by 2030).
- It also increased ambition in adaptation by incorporating two new priority areas: tourism and transport (in addition to water, agriculture, fishing and aquaculture, forest, and health).
- Adaptation and mitigation measures in the NDC consider the incorporation of gender, intercultural and intergenerational approaches to ensure equity and inclusion.
