Peru: Forestry and Wildlife Law (Law No. 29763)
The Forestry and Wildlife Law promotes the conservation, protection, enhancement and sustainable use of Peru's forest and wildlife heritage, integrating its management with the maintenance and improvement of ecosystem services. It establishes the institutional framework led by Serfor and Sinafor and regulates forest planning and zoning, enabling titles, community management, plantations and agroforestry systems, traceability, control, enforcement, incentives, restoration and sanctions.
Peru: Organic Law for the Sustainable Use of Natural Resources (Law No. 26821)
The Organic Law establishes the regime for promoting and regulating the sustainable use of renewable and non-renewable natural resources, including the conditions and mechanisms for granting rights to private parties. It seeks to balance economic growth and investment promotion with the conservation of natural resources, environmental protection and integral human development. It also regulates public participation, ecological and economic zoning, concessions and other access mechanisms, intersectoral coordination, supervision and sustainability conditions.
Supreme Decree No. 012-2026-PRODUCE: Emergency Declaration for the Fisheries and Aquaculture Subsectors in Response to the 2026-2027 El Niño Event
Peru's Supreme Decree No. 012-2026-PRODUCE declares the Fisheries and Aquaculture subsectors under emergency for a period of one hundred and twenty calendar days due to the effects generated by the 2026-2027 El Niño event. The measure allows exceptional, immediate and necessary response and economic-reactivation actions to protect the continuity of fisheries and aquaculture activities and strengthen their value chains. The Decree requires the Ministry of Production to approve, by Ministerial Resolution and within fifteen working days following publication, an Emergency Plan for the Fisheries and Aquaculture Subsectors. The Plan is intended to ensure an efficient State response to potential impacts from El Niño and create conditions for strengthening, responding to and recovering fisheries and aquaculture value chains and their associated actors. Its lines of action include scientific research for the sustainable use of hydrobiological resources, fisheries-management measures for taking advantage of resource opportunities, administrative and sanitary facilitation to ensure continuity of processing activities, payment facilities for fisheries, aquaculture and sanitary administrative fines, promotion of commercialization and market development for hydrobiological products, and access to financing. The Ministry of Production, through the Monitoring and Evaluation Directorate of the General Directorate for Fisheries and Aquaculture Policy and Regulatory Analysis, is responsible for monitoring and evaluating the measures implemented under the Emergency Plan. The Decree also authorizes PRODUCE to adopt complementary measures and modify or expand the Plan's lines of action according to the evolution of the emergency.

Nitrogen Optimization: Strategies for Addressing the Climate Crisis in Food Production
This project establishes a technical network across five countries (including the Dominican Republic and Panama) to optimize the use of nitrogen fertilizers through the 4R strategy. Its goal is to increase food productivity and reduce $N_{2}O$ emissions by developing common protocols and local emission factors (Tier 2). The results will strengthen national GHG inventories and promote public policies for sustainability and climate resilience in the region.
