DecarBOOST
Introduction
The Decarboost Project - Catalyzing Investments to Decarbonize Latin America and the Caribbeanis sponsored by the International Climate Initiative - IKI, funded by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety - BMU (Germany).
In its three years of implementation (2020-2023), Decarboost will provide evidence to support the creation of enabling conditions for the rapid decarbonization of the economies of Argentina, Brazil and Peru; promoting that financing flows are consistent with resilient, low-carbon development.
Led by SouthSouthNorth (South Africa), it is implemented by CentroClima-Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Fundación Torcuato Di Tella (Argentina), Libélula Comunicación Ambiente y Desarrollo (Peru), and New Climate Institute (Germany). The project operates at two scales: national and international. In Peru, the project has prioritized the theme of Green Recovery.
As part of its activities, the Decarboost project has been analyzing the feasibility of implementing carbon pricing in Peru, analyzing different barriers, opportunities and implementation scenarios. In this sense, one of the components of interest of the project is the analysis of the internal carbon price as a tool for environmental management in companies. The starting point of this tool is the measurement and incorporation of the price of GHG emissions in the company's operations, either implicitly or explicitly. In Peru, an important milestone was the creation of the Carbon Footprint Peru platform of the Ministry of the Environment (HC-Peru), which facilitates and promotes companies to carry out actions to measure, reduce and offset their emissions. In this context, the purpose of this consultancy is to analyze and develop recommendations for the development of carbon credit projects.
