National law establishing Peru's legal framework for comprehensive climate-change management through principles, institutional responsibilities and policy instruments for climate adaptation and mitigation. The law requires climate measures to be mainstreamed across public policies, strategies, plans, programs, investment projects and budgets at all levels of government; recognizes the National and Regional Climate Change Strategies, Nationally Determined Contributions and other climate-management instruments; and establishes responsibilities for monitoring, evaluation, information generation, research, environmental education, public participation and climate finance. It also incorporates ecosystem-, watershed- and territorial-based approaches, conservation of carbon stocks, traditional knowledge, human rights, gender equality and climate-risk management, with priority given to populations in vulnerable situations. The Law was regulated through Supreme Decree No. 013-2019-MINAM and remains in force.
