El manejo, conservación y aprovechamiento sostenible del patrimonio forestal y de fauna silvestre, es un gran reto para el país, considerando el enorme potencial de tierras forestales que posee el territorio peruano, desde los bosques secos de la costa, que se entrecruzan con los bosques andinos para desembocar en nuestra extensa Amazonía.

The global pandemic crisis has created a valuable opportunity to promote green recovery policies at the level of regional integration blocks that are tightly aligned to climate policies, including carbon pricing. The European Union’s Green Deal is an example. We propose that the Andean Community (CAN, by its acronym in Spanish) follows that example by establishing carbon pricing policies in its community law framework, adapting it to its level of regional integration and to the needs of its member countries. We suggest five ideas of carbon pricing policies that Andean countries could adopt within the CAN: phasing out of fossil fuel subsidies, regulating a border-adjustment carbon tax, creating a regional carbon tax, defining a reference social carbon price, and establishing a regional carbon market. To achieve them, the Andean Community can choose between establishing community legisla...
