The Executive Branch, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ratified the agreement with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) for the holding of the 63rd Session of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

In addition, the event —set to take place in Lima at the end of October 2025— was declared of national interest.

The ratification of the agreement was formalized through Supreme Decree No. 036-2025-RE, published in the Legal Regulations Bulletin of the Official Gazette El Peruano on Friday.

The document was signed in April 2025 and approved by Congress in September of the same year through Legislative Resolution No. 32438, which authorized the organization of the meeting.


Declaration of national interest

In parallel, through Supreme Decree No. 037-2025-RE, the Executive Branch declared the holding of the upcoming IPCC session to be of national interest. The meeting will be held in Lima from October 27 to November 1, 2025.

This guarantees that the country will prioritize the preparation and organization of the event, under the responsibility of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, financed from the institutional budget and without requiring additional resources from the Public Treasury.

It was also arranged that the entry of participants and goods related to the meeting be facilitated.

Importance of the agreement

The IPCC, composed of 195 member states, is the leading international body responsible for assessing climate change science.

Since its foundation in 1988, Peru has actively participated in its processes, providing research data on the territories most vulnerable to this phenomenon.

The upcoming session will bring together around 500 delegates, experts, and representatives of international organizations, establishing Lima as a meeting point for global scientific dialogue.


This will also be the most important climate-related event hosted by Peru since COP20 in 2014, where IPCC reports were key to international negotiations.

Thus, the organization of the 63rd session of the IPCC not only reaffirms the country's commitment to climate action but also strengthens its role in the multilateral arena in the face of one of humanity's greatest challenges.
