AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoEl Niño and Peru’s fisheries: Peru’s anchovy catch is taking a major hit as warming seas linked to El Niño disrupt distribution and breeding, with the first-season quota cut sharply and the central/northern fishery suspended—raising fears of a second-season collapse and more job losses. El Niño risk watch: The World Meteorological Organization says there’s nearly a 100% chance the current El Niño persists through February, with impacts expected to peak late in the year and continue into 2027, increasing risks of floods, drought, and extreme heat. Glacier disaster threat in the Andes: Researchers warn that glacial lake outburst floods like Nepal’s could also threaten Peru and other Andean countries as rising temperatures destabilize ice walls and moraine dams; Peru’s survey flags hundreds of at-risk glacial lakes, including “very high risk” sites. Energy and climate planning tools: A study in southern Peru tests how well high-altitude solar irradiance models work, finding altitude-dependent gaps that could affect photovoltaic yield estimates for Andean regions. Wildlife enforcement update: A Perundurai court denied a Forest Department bid to move seized exotic animals to a zoo, allowing the farm owner to keep them temporarily under strict conditions and monthly veterinary checks.
