    Necesidad de una protección adecuada a los defensores y defensoras de derechos humanos ambientales
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Instituto de la Naturaleza, Tierra y Energía (INTE-PUCP), 2022) Gamboa Balbín, Aída Mercedes
    The threats due to illegal logging, illegal mining, illegal agriculture and illicit cultivation of coca come together in the Amazon and in Peru. Such activities daily increase environmental defenders’ vulnerability level. They are subject to aggressions when defending and protecting their lands and natural resources. This panorama has been aggravated by the arrival of the pandemic and was complemented by incentive to extractive and infrastructure activities, resulting in the continuity of socio-environmental conflicts, such as escalation of violence and criminalization of environmental defenders. Murders have increased and have been reported by various international and domestic organizations, despite progress in the justice and environment sectors. Therefore, there is need for adequate implementation of various existing tools and also for the Congress of the Republic to ratify the Escazú Agreement, the first environmental treaty containing provisions for effective protection of these people.

    Los retos de las ciudades del Perú frente al cambio climático. Aproximaciones desde la Justicia Ambiental
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Instituto de la Naturaleza, Tierra y Energía (INTE-PUCP), 2022) Ortiz Sánchez, Iván; Mayo D’Arrigo, Maritza; Alvarez Cueva, Jessica; Espinoza Bardales, Carlos; Garaycochea Castañón, Antonio; Illanes Calderón, Christian; Vivas Huaccho, Diego; Vásquez, Pascuala; Ramos Díaz, Lorena
    Faced with the urgent call to action raised in the latest IPCC report, this paper takes a panoramic review at the general problems of Peruvian cities tackling climate change, revealing that the challenge is twofold: to build resilience to climatic variability, but above all to overcome the structural causes that produce high levels of social and ecological vulnerability. It is concluded that the four dimensions of environmental justice -distribution, recognition, participation, capacities- allow a more complete analysis of the vulnerabilities to overcome and achieve fair resilience; also, progresses have been found in this regard.
