Peru is latest developing nation to adopt climate change
initiative Peru became the latest developing country to enact a
domestic climate change initiative in the absence of a binding
global pact, adopting a resolution on Thursday to lower carbon
emissions in its fast-growing economy. Peru's long-term climate
change plan aims to include more renewable fuels in Peru's
energy matrix, switch to a low-carbon economy and curb illegal
logging in the Amazon rain forest. Peru's model is based on one
developed by South Africa. Similar plans are being implemented
in Chile, Argentina, Colombia and Brazil.
