As Peru is very vulnerable to climate change, "it's really important not only to have a very clear mitigation objective, but also to push the adaptation agenda. For the developing countries, the adaptation agenda is key, because it's the only way to address the consequences of climate change," said Peru's Environment Minister Manuel Pulgar, in an interview with Deutsche Welle at the recent Bonn Climate Change Conference.
Talking about the COP20 that will take place in Peru in December, the Minister stated that the Climate Change Conference is a good opportunity for the country to raise the environmental discussion, to make Peru more environmental and climate-responsible and also to leave a legacy to the citizens.
