During the event, Milagros Sandoval, General Director of Climate Change and Desertification at Peru’s Environmental Ministry, highlighted in her speech that a project of this nature must generate additionality within the framework of the Nationally Determined Contributions or NDCs. «The idea of this agreement is to promote investment in technologies with low greenhouse gas emissions… [in other words] through the implementation of this agreement, promote environmental integrity and avoid double accounting [of emissions reductions]. Above all, it is an opportunity to promote sustainable development in Peru.»

Similarly, Jorge Álvarez-Lam, Environmental Sustainability Program officer at the United Nations Development Program, stressed that this type of initiative generates a positive impact that would not happen otherwise.

In this sense, the Tuki Wasi Project is not only a mitigation project with strong environmental impacts; it also helps improve the adaptation of rural families to climate change and provide strong social impacts. This makes it a powerful and sustainable initiative. For the execution of the project, Microsol is seeking the participation of local operators who will be in charge of installing the improved cookstoves and developing the project’s social and technical sustainability strategy.
