Peru participates in the
represented by a multisectoral delegation at this important world meeting until November 12, the
Peru's stance —as stated by
President Pedro Castillo at the 76th UN General Assembly— is that if
we do not achieve the goal of reducing the global temperature rise, humankind will face a dismal future.
"COP26 started in Glasgow today. Peru will participate (in this event) until November 12, represented by a multisectoral delegation so as to achieve concrete results in the fight against climate change," the Ministry said via Twitter last Sunday.
Along the same lines, the
Peruvian Foreign Affairs Ministry reiterated that —as President Castillo pointed out at the 76th UN General Assembly— Peru deems it feasible to limit the temperature rise between 1.5 and 2 Celsius degrees —as established by the Paris Agreement.
As an expression of that commitment, the Head of State announced the declaration of a national climate emergency.
Lastly, the Ministry concluded by highlighting that Peru —in its capacity as President Pro-Tempore of the
Independent Association of Latin America and the Caribbean (AILAC)— at the COP26 inaugural plenary indicated that the post-COVID recovery presents an opportunity to move forward towards a green, resilient, and inclusive economy.
