Yesterday, the event \u00abThe Paris Agreement on Climate Change and its implications for environmental auditing in Peru\u00bb was held at the Country Club Hotel in San Isidro. This meeting was organized by the Environmental Evaluation and Enforcement Agency (OEFA) and the Commission for Educational Exchange between Peru and the United States of America (Fulbright Peru).<\/p>\n
The event was attended by Mar\u00eda Luisa Eg\u00fasquiza, President of the Board of Directors of OEFA; Henry Harman, Executive Director of the Fulbright Commission of Peru; Gabriel Quijandr\u00eda, Vice Minister of Strategic Development of Natural Resources of the Ministry of Environment; Mar\u00eda Elena Guti\u00e9rrez, Research Manager of Lib\u00e9lula and Julia Urrunaga Pasco Font Director, Peru Programs at Environmental Investigation Agency.<\/p>\n
Vice-Minister Gabriel Quijandr\u00eda began his presentation by stressing that the main problem with climate change is that it puts us in uncertainty. He also pointed out that multilateralism has gained momentum thanks to the mandates and there is a desire to make economies more sustainable. He also indicated that: \u201cDespite the signs of exhaustion, the countries of the world want to take their economies to more sustainable scenarios,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He also indicated that the main contribution of Andean culture is the ingenious management of space to face the effects of climate and that it is up to us to reconnect with the logic of climate management in order to identify opportunities. \u201cClimate change presents opportunities to advance our country economically, especially in the forestry sector,\u00bb he said.<\/p>\n
Mar\u00eda Elena Guti\u00e9rrez, Lib\u00e9lula's research manager, also participated in the event, acknowledging the role played by the Ministry of the Environment in COP 20 and emphasizing that the business sector will be decisive in implementing international agreements.<\/p>\n
Mar\u00eda Elena explained that the increase in temperature generates social impacts and that Peru depends on glaciers. \u201cLast century, the temperature of the planet increased by 0.85\u00b0C, if we continue on the same path, we will exceed two degrees and ecosystems will be strongly affected,\u201d she warned.<\/p>\n
He stressed that the first action of the next government is to ratify the Paris Agreement to mark our climate leadership in the world and urged attendees to start changing consumption habits: \u201cEvery decision does have an influence, it depends on us to meet the goal of not exceeding two degrees,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yesterday, the event \u00abThe Paris Agreement on Climate Change and its implications for environmental control in Peru\u00bb was held at the Country Club Hotel in San Isidro.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2440,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[446,6,665,438,15],"class_list":["post-778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cambio-climatico","tag-acuerdo-de-paris","tag-cambio-climatico","tag-ministerio-del-ambiente","tag-oefa","tag-peru"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/libelula.com.pe\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/778","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/libelula.com.pe\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/libelula.com.pe\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/libelula.com.pe\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/libelula.com.pe\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=778"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/libelula.com.pe\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/778\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":968,"href":"https:\/\/libelula.com.pe\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/778\/revisions\/968"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/libelula.com.pe\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2440"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/libelula.com.pe\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=778"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/libelula.com.pe\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=778"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/libelula.com.pe\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=778"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
