These three documents will foster the use of clean and low-carbon hydrogen in the bloc, with the aim of achieving a transition towards clean energy and mitigating climate change.
It is important to note that, for the first time in APEC history, Peru proposed the development of guidelines for the implementation of low-carbon hydrogen across the region, considering it a promising energy source to decarbonize several economic sectors.
This statement is based on proposals submitted by Peru to generate inclusive, sustainable, and resilient health systems that adapt to future threats.
