The Framework Law on Climate Change, published on April 18, 2018, establishes the principles, approaches and general provisions to coordinate, articulate, design, execute, report, monitor, evaluate and disseminate public policies for the integral, participatory and transparent management of adaptation and mitigation to climate change. The law aims at reducing the vulnerability of the country to climate change, take advantage of the opportunities of low carbon growth and fulfill the international commitments assumed by the State before the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, with an intergenerational approach. &nbsp; &nbsp;The law establishes responsibilities for the Ministry of Environment of Peru in relation to the country's NDCs: the Ministry must submit an annual report to the Parliament which includes progress on the NDCs, ensure the compliance of the NDC targets and receive reports on sectoral NDCs progress from other ministries and public entities. Peru's NDCs are identified by the law as one of the country's instruments of climate management, with binding nature for the competent authorities and to be considered in their institutional budgets &nbsp; &nbsp;Article 2 lists a number of principles that the Peruvian State must apply with regards to climate change mitigation and adaptation: the principles of integration, transversality, subsidiarity, accountability, transparency, participation, climate governance and prevention. &nbsp; &nbsp;Article 16 details how mitigation efforts should be pursued; via carbon sequestration, and the increase of sinks, prioritizing the protection, conservation and sustainable management of forests; afforestation and reforestation; the control of the use and change of land use; sustainable transport; solid waste management; the control of gaseous and e uent emissions; the progressive change of consumption models and the energy matrix to renewable and clean energy; and energy efficiency in the various productive and extractive sectors; among other. On January 1, 2020, the government approved <a href="https://busquedas.elperuano.pe/normaslegales/decreto-supremo-que-aprueba-el-reglamento-de-la-ley-n-30754-decreto-supremo-n-013-2019-minam-1842032-2/">Supreme Decree 013-2019-MINAM</a> which regulates the dispositions of the law. It aims at reducing Peru's vulnerability to adverse effects of climate change, foster low-carbon activities, and enable the country to meet its international climate pledges.

An aim to achieve a quantifiable outcome within a given time-frame, set by an institution such as a national government.

Policy instruments are techniques or tools used by governing authorities to promote certain policies in order to achieve predetermined goals. Put simply, instruments are how a government tries to achieve its goals, with this taxonomy being focused on national policy instruments.

Risk is the potential for adverse consequences resulting from the dynamic interplay between (climate-related) hazards, exposure, and vulnerability of affected human or ecological systems.

Groups  of people who are adversely affected by climate change or the response to it

A set of principles, processes, and practices that build economic and political power to shift from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy.

Justice is the ethical and political framework that addresses fairness, including issues of responsibility, rights, and structural inequity.

Renewable energy means all forms of energy produced from renewable sources in a sustainable manner.

Fossil fuel is a generic term for non-renewable energy sources such as coal, fossil gas, and oil (including crude oil, and petroleum products), that can be used for electricity and heat generation. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons formed from pressurised and heated organic material buried over millions of years.

Molecules in the atmosphere that play a key role in the greenhouse effect by trapping heat radiating from Earth’s surface.

Area of the economy in which actors engage in identical or related activities.

In human systems, the process of adjustment to actual or expected climate change and its effects, in order to moderate harm, increase resilience or exploit beneficial opportunities. In natural systems, the process of adjustment to actual climate change and its effects; human intervention may facilitate adjustment to expected climate change and its effects.

The management and allocation of funds, assets and investments to meet various objectives

People who are less able to respond to the effects of climate change due to having limited financial or physical assets

Direct investments by the governments using public funds. This can be to support climate initiatives or integrate climate into other projects.

Finance that is primarily directed towards climate change mitigation, including greenhouse gas emissions reduction and enhancing the sinks of greenhouse gases.

Either money or something of monetary value is transferred between two or more organisations, people or countries.

Actions or measures to adapt terrestrial systems to climate change.

Actions to reduce emissions in energy generation and supply.

Terrestrial means "of the earth" and relates to the risks to ecological system that includes all living organisms and their interactions within land-based environments, such as forests, grasslands, and deserts.

Social inclusion is the process of improving the terms on which individuals and groups take part in society—improving the ability, opportunity, and dignity of those disadvantaged on the basis of their identity.

Procedural justice means ensuring that decision making is safe, transparent and inclusive, emphasizing the agency and influence of vulnerable groups and those most impacted.

Climate change impacts our society by disrupting the natural, economic and social systems we depend on. Physical hazards and underlying vulnerabilities can lead to increased resource competition for food and water, which can heighten the risk of conflict.

Slow onset events evolve gradually from incremental changes over many years or from increased frequency or intensity of recurring events. As defined in the Cancun Adaptation Framework (2010), slow onset events include risks and impacts from rising temperatures, desertification, biodiversity loss, land and forest degradation, glacial retreat, ocean acidification, sea level rise, and salinization.
