This Country Planning Framework (CPF) sets the strategic direction for the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) in Peru over the period 2017-2021.
Peru’s rapid economic growth in the last decade has consolidated its status as an upper-middle income country. To this end, the Government of Peru has committed to ambitious green growth goals that seek to reconcile economic development with the imperative of improving the livelihoods of its citizenry and sustainably managing its natural resource base and rich biodiversity. In 2015, the Government commissioned GGGI to undertake a Green Growth Potential Assessment (GGPA), which highlighted three major areas with high-impact potential for achieving Peru’s green growth vision: sustainable landscapes, water, and energy.
Based on this context, the CPF for the period 2017-2021 has three strategic outcomes:
- Outcome 1: Contribution to the NDC target of 30 percent greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction through abating deforestation.
- Outcome 2: Contribution to Peru’s goal of reducing water stress in priority basins through increased investment in green infrastructure and water pricing.
- Outcome 3: Contribution to increased climate resilience and long-term sustainable growth through energy efficiency and diversification of the energy mix.
