Description

–>

Peru’s progress in advancing the implementation of its climate policy has been slow, with the country’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, excluding land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF), increasing by 90% from about 54 MtCO2eq in 1990 to 109 MtCO2eq in 2021. Simultaneously, Peru’s economy and its population are highly vulnerable to climate change, especially water and food insecurity.
Peru faces significant barriers in addressing climate change, including limited institutional capacity to integrate environmental, social, and climate considerations into financial planning and public debt tools; local financial sector unable to effectively screen and mitigate climate risks; a lack of mechanisms to integrate climate change considerations into PPPs; and constrained institutional ability to tap into international climate funds like the GCF. These challenges affect governmental entities such as MEF, MINAM, SBS, and SMV, as well as local financial institutions and infrastructure planning bodies. As a result, the country’s climate action, sustainable development, and infrastructure resilience efforts are hindered, making it more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
Develop and implement MEL plans for the GCF project.
Collaborate with the project manager to design and implement MEL tools that effectively monitor and evaluate the project.
Ensure integrity, timeliness and quality of monitoring and reporting according to GCF´s and GGGI´s systems and requirements.
