Welcome to the United Nations
TASA, committed to coastal marine ecosystems and as part of Aprendo and Emprendo program, has been in charge since 2010 to establish links of training and business training with artisanal fishermen under a focus on entrepreneurship and formalization. In that sense, it has worked successfully, promoting its own businesses that have given dynamism to the economies of the communities where it operates. Consorcio Pesquero Atico and Pescart Chimbote are two consolidated projects integrated 100% by artisanal fishermen who now have their own company and commercialize marine products in competitive...[more]
The best opportunity to slow the rate of near-term warming globally and in sensitive regions such as the Arctic is by cutting emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) – most notably methane, black carbon and some hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Widespread reductions, which complement the need for aggressive global action on carbon dioxide, contribute significantly to the goal of limiting warming to less than two degrees. Reducing SLCPs can also advance national priorities such as protecting air quality and public health, promoting food security, enhancing energy efficiency, and allevi...[more]
In recent years, quinoa exports and other Andean grains found in Peru have increased exponentially. Unfortunately, this has not contributed to improve the quality of lives for producers. The situation is even more difficult for women living in the rural communities, who account for 69% of all agricultural producers. They have faced significant hardships compared to male agricultural producers. Therefore, the SDG-F has contributed to the adoption of an inclusive value chain in the production of quinoa and other Andean grains. The increase of the demand in the international market will determ...[more]
The IHO capacity building programme seeks to assess and advise on how countries can best meet their international obligations and serve their own best interests by providing appropriate hydrographic and nautical charting services. Such services directly support safety of navigation, safety of life at sea, efficient sea transportation and the wider use of the seas and oceans in a sustainable way, including the protection of the marine environment, coastal zone management, fishing, marine resource exploration and exploitation, maritime boundary delimitation, maritime defence and security, and o...[more]
The ecosystem approach applied to fisheries is recognized as an excellent means to achieve the sustainability of fisheries, which includes all the actors involved in this activity. This not only requires the participation and collaboration of the participating actors, but also aims to share information and knowledge with other stakeholders for effective implementation. The actors will involve the public sector (ministries, research institutes, public universities, people in general) and the private sector (companies, investors, private universities). One of the crucial points relates to ...[more]
The Coastal Marine Atlas of Peru provides information on environmental quality in different parts of the coast of Peru, showing information on the main cities, bays and coastal areas. This project aims to collect, systematize and integrate the information generated by the different departments of the Instituto del Mar del Per for the elaboration of a Digital Atlas distributed online and that can be used as a tool for decision making in the use of marine resources and in the management of the coastal marine space and the organization of its activities. In addition to the Atlas data service, ...[more]

In relation to the initiatives that contribute to the implementation of the SDG 14, research cruises and surveys are carried out, and tools and strategies are used for the conservation of marine ecosystems. In this sense, the following activities are carried out: - Determination of the specific composition and abundance of Peruvian fish , invertebrate and macroalgae stocks, as well as their relationship with environmental parameters. - Analysis of spatiotemporal variability of marine species and populations. - Evaluation of ecological indexes of marine communities. - Identification of so...[more]
With the aim to strengthen artisanal fisheries, the Ministry of Production of Peru will implement programs of formalization of fisheries in order for the whole of the artisanal fisheries fleet to be covered by the law (formalize) within a period of one to four years, depending on the kind of vessel (fishing boat). This would benefit artisanal fisheries by providing them with a better access to fishing resources and by increasing the commercial value of their captures. On the other hand, it will further enhance fisheries management in as much as it relates to the reduction of illegal, unreporte...[more]
