I.
Institutional Approach of the CDM in Peru
•
The Ministry of Environment (MINAM) is the Designated National Authority
(DNA) in Peru, responsible for approving and issuing the approval letter
(LoA) of the country.
•
The National Environmental Fund (FONAM) is a private-public
organization, which promotes the carbon market in Peru. FONAM
elaborates the National Low Carbon Emission Portfolio, including the
Programme of Activities (PoA) under the CDM and voluntary market.
II. Criteria and Approval Process for CDM
Projects and PoA-CDM
•
By Directive N°002-2009-MINAM (Assessment Procedure for approval of projects to
reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and carbon capture), MINAM assesses
whether the "proposed project contributes to sustainable development in Peru“
•
The Letter of Approval is issued within twenty seven (27) days after the request for
approval from the project developer.
•
During the approval process a visit to the project site is required as well as an on-site
meeting with the relevant stakeholders. Afterwards, the approval decision depends
on the Ad-Hoc Committee, which is chaired by MINAM.
II. Criteria and Approval Process for CDM
Projects and PoA-CDM
Criteria to determine the sustainable development:
LEGAL
• Compliance with existing national legislation and sectorial policies.
ENVIRONMENTAL
• Compliance with environmental best practices defined in the contribution to emissions
reduction greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel use.
• Reduction of environmental pollution and negative health effects.
• Promoting biodiversity protection;
• Environmental sound use of land and water
• Proper management of solid waste and effluents; and ,
• other environmental benefits.
ECONOMIC
• Contribution to economic growth and competitiveness improvement of Peru.
• Measurable through investment generated by the project, wealth, employment and
technology transfer.
SOCIAL
• Maintaining and/or improving the quality of life of communities near the project
development.
• Measurable by the impact of social investment plan in the community, employment
generation and adequately remunerated, opportunities to facilitate gender equity and
improvement of local infrastructure.

III. State of the CDM Projects and PoA-CDM in Peru
Currently, 86 CDM projects have National Letters of Approval. 64 are registered under
the CDM Executive Board, of which 13 projects have received CERs.

IV. INNOVATION IDEAS: From PoAs to NAMAs
•
In Peru, some Nationally Appropiate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) can take advantage from the
lessons learned during the PoA process development.
Study Case of PoA to NAMAs in Peru.
•
•
•
LECB Project will elaborate NAMAs and MRV for
construction materials sector.
With the support of Collaboration Regional Center and
UNFCCC a standardized baseline will be develop for the
construction material sector (brick, cement and steel). This
standardized baseline can be used as input for potential
NAMAs.
The “Energy Efficiency Program in Latin American
Artisanal Brick to Mitigate Climate Change (EELA)” is a
potential initiative to scale-up a PoA to a NAMA and would
take advantage from the standardized baseline. This
Program was recognized by Momentum for Change (*).
