National Strategic Development Plan to 2050 (Plan Estratégico de Desarrollo Nacional al 2050)

Published

The Supreme Decree updates the National Strategic Development Plan ( Plan Estratégico de Desarrollo Nacional "PEDN") to 2050, outlining a long-term vision for Peru’s socio-economic and environmental development. Central to this framework is Objective 2, which prioritizes gestión sostenible del territorio (sustainable territorial management) to mitigate climate-related risks, protect livelihoods, and integrate climate resilience into national planning. The policy emphasizes reducing vulnerability through disaster risk management, climate adaptation, and the use of science and technology, aligning with international climate commitments such as the Paris Agreement. It underscores the need for coordinated governance across sectors, including water resource management, biodiversity conservation, and territorial ordering, to address structural challenges like climate change, inequality, and institutional weaknesses. This approach reflects Fisher’s focus on statutory environmental governance, as it institutionalizes climate resilience within national development strategies, while Sands’ international law perspective is evident in its alignment with global climate frameworks and transnational cooperation.

The PEDN also outlines immediate actions to address climate impacts, including optimizing non-reimbursable climate funds, enhancing public education on waste management, promoting solar energy adoption, and transitioning to electric vehicles. These measures aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, strengthen climate adaptation, and foster sustainable economic growth. The plan integrates climate action with broader goals of social equity, digital transformation, and institutional strengthening, reflecting Setzer’s emphasis on pragmatic policy innovation. By linking climate resilience to territorial management, the PEDN positions climate change as a cross-cutting priority, requiring systemic reforms in governance, infrastructure, and resource use. The document highlights the interplay between national development and global climate imperatives, ensuring that Peru’s trajectory aligns with both domestic needs and international obligations, while addressing historical structural challenges such as corruption and institutional fragility.
