The world is currently facing a major challenge in terms of imminent acceleration of climate change. According to forecasts, Peru is among the most vulnerable countries in this scenario. In this study, I review the process of national initiatives that aim to reduce the impact of climate change in Peru. The method I employ is to review the directives of the Peruvian Territorial Management Plan (Plan de Ordenamiento Territorial) and the elements that develop it through climate change mitigation and risk management initiatives. The analysis reveals that a variety of actions are being undertaken across the different public administrations; the available resources are being managed inefficiently; processes are being excessively bureaucratized; objectives are obscure; and there is both a lack of interest on the part of political decision-makers and reduced public awareness of the problems being faced.
