PROJECT BACKGROUND

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 Green Climate Fund (GCF). These challenges affect governmental entities such as Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), the Ministry of Environment (MINAM), the Superintendency of Banking, Insurance and AFP (SBS) and the Superintendency of the Securities Market (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.

GGGI program aims to support the Government of Peru’s Ministry of Economy and Finance, Directorate of International Economics, Competition and Productivity Affairs (GCF Nationally Designated Authority, NDA) to boost climate finance efforts by delivering a set of complementary workstreams:

Workstream 1: Building the institutional capacity of MEF, MINAM, SBS and SMV to integrate environmental, social and climate change considerations into public debt instruments, financial planning and regulation.
Workstream 2: Greening Peru’s private banking sector.
Workstream 3: Developing a strategic framework for low-carbon, climate-resilient public-private partnerships (PPPs).
Workstream 4: Accelerating access to the GCF.
