Climate Summit Host Peru Plans Carbon Limit Focused on Deforestation, Minister Says

摘要

Peru is working to protect its tropical rainforests and better manage agriculture, which account for the bulk of its climate-warming emissions. Environment Minister Manuel Pulgar-Vidal said the measures will be the cornerstone of Peru's contribution to a global climate deal that envoys from more than 190 nations will attempt to broker in Paris at the end of next year. "It's clear that 60 percent of Peru's emissions are linked to agriculture and forests, so obviously the biggest focus of our national contribution will concentrate on those tasks," Pulgar-Vidal said in an interview in Lima, which hosted the last major round of United Nations climate talks before the Paris meeting.
