Under Implementation

The Peruvian Amazon forms a vital part of the Amazon biome and is one of the world’s most important ecosystems for climate regulation and biodiversity conservation. Within this landscape, approximately 17 million hectares are protected within 38 national parks. Despite their protected status, they remain under pressure from deforestation, unsustainable land-use change, and climate impacts. Limited resources for effective management have weakened protection efforts, allowing forest loss to continue even within protected areas. These environmental pressures threaten the livelihoods and cultural survival of Indigenous communities that depend on forest ecosystems for food, income, and essential ecosystem services.

This project seeks to strengthen the management and climate resilience of 25 national protected areas and four surrounding buffer zones in the Peruvian Amazon. By improving governance, monitoring systems, and sustainable financing mechanisms, the initiative aims to reduce deforestation and safeguard critical ecosystems. The project will elevate all targeted protected areas to a stronger management standard, with several reaching an optimal level of effectiveness.

In parallel, the initiative supports Indigenous communities through locally led adaptation measures and ecosystem-based solutions that strengthen climate-resilient livelihoods. By combining stronger conservation management with community-driven adaptation, the project aims to reduce deforestation-related emissions while protecting biodiversity and enhancing the resilience of Indigenous peoples across the Peruvian Amazon.

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.

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.
