Question

Answer

The UK Government has a significant dialogue with indigenous groups and environmental defenders in Peru.

HMG regularly discusses the impact of climate change and environmental degradation with the Peruvian Government and these were core themes at our annual UK-Peru Political consultations in August this year.
