Item type:Publication, Una aproximación hacia la seguridad hídrica en los Andes tropicales: desafíos y perspectivas(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Instituto de la Naturaleza, Tierra y Energía (INTE-PUCP), 2023-08-31)The tropical Andes represent a key region in terms of biodiversity, cultural diversity, and multiple ecosystem services. They serve as the foundation for human subsistence for millions of inhabitants, which is increasingly affected by growing water insecurity due to the coupled impacts of land cover and climate changes. In recent years, important efforts focused on headwaters in highland areas, implementing payments for environmental services and natural infrastructure, have created several opportunities to address water insecurity in the tropical Andes. However, there is insufficient knowledge to assess levels of water security at spatio-temporal scales suitable for developing locally relevant adaptation strategies. This limitation is due to a scarcity of data combined with inconsistent concepts and metrics, and incomplete approaches to integrate all components of water security within a common framework. In addition, there is a need to align public policies that fit local needs. This study explores current limitations and prospects for studying and increasing water security in the region. The establishment of monitoring and data collection networks, including participatory and diverse knowledge designs, is crucial. Modeling water security modeling requires creating strong linkages between the different components of the water cycle and water users. These efforts should be integrated into a transdisciplinary collaborative framework involving science, policy, and community, faciliting effective, robust, and locally tailored adaptation pathways. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, ¿Quo vadis, hidrógeno verde? Escenarios de su producción y uso en Perú para una transición energética justa(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2025-12-11)This paper examines the incipient progress of green hydrogen production in Peru, within the framework of the energy transition stimulated by decarbonization with a focus on just transition. In addition to offering a technical perspective, it provides a critical perspective that highlights the structural, sociopolitical, and environmental tensions that accompany the advancement of this energy vector. Following an interdisciplinary strategy, the paper discusses the benefits of green hydrogen -especially its importance in decarbonizing strategic industrial branches- as well as the dangers associated with the perpetuation of extractivist and territorially exclusionary rationalities. The focus of southern Peru as an export center is described, and the limited citizen participation, vague legislation, and the concentrated decision-making power of private and transnational actors are problematized. It is argued that without clear and effective regulatory frameworks, and redistributive mechanisms, and without informed participation of civil society, green hydrogen risks becoming a new form of green extractivism. Thus, alternative development scenarios are outlined. Based on this, a call is made to reimagine the role of the State, civil society, universities, and territories in the path to a socially and environmentally just energy transition, and not just one that serves corporate and geopolitical purposes.1
