Analysis of Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement in the Carbon Market for Indigenous Communities in the Peruvian Amazon, 2024. Rev. Int. Investig. Cienc. Soc.

This study examines the potential of Peru’s Amazonian Indigenous communities to contribute to the achievement of the country’s Nationally Determined Contributions through their participation in mitigation measures aligned with the Paris Agreement. Based on a documentary analysis of the 2024 Mitigation Measures Catalogue and specialized literature, fifteen measures compatible with communal socio-productive and territorial systems were identified, five of which were prioritized due to their higher emission reduction potential, operational feasibility, and socio-environmental co-benefits. The findings show that these measures are concentrated in forest and agroecological sectors, where communal governance, traditional ecological knowledge, and sustainable territorial management function as central enabling conditions. The study also identifies institutional gaps that restrict community access to the regulated carbon market, including the absence of enabling regulations for Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, weaknesses in the national monitoring and verification system, lack of methodological harmonization, and high certification costs. These limitations generate dependence on the voluntary market and foster double-counting practices that undermine the integrity of national climate goals. The study concludes that Indigenous climate potential is significant, but its recognition requires regulatory reforms, technical strengthening, and financial mechanisms that effectively connect community action with global climate architecture. Effective inclusion of Indigenous peoples is essential to ensure coherence, justice, and transparency in Peru’s climate transition.
