Last update: 9 hours agoClimate Emergency in Peru: Peru declared a 60-day state of emergency in 796 districts across 22 regions (about 40% of the country) as El Niño-linked heavy rains raise “very high” risk, with national agencies stepping in because regional response capacity is overwhelmed. El Niño Warning: The UN’s weather agency says El Niño is set to rapidly strengthen between July and September, increasing the odds of extreme weather worldwide.

Coastal Governance Fight: A Lima court restored Ositrán’s oversight powers over the Megaport of Chancay, challenging claims that the port should sit outside public regulation. Food & Water Stress Signals: Peru’s blueberry growers are planning for continued strong coastal El Niño through October 2026, adjusting for heat, humidity, disease pressure, and logistics impacts.
