AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoClimate Emergency in Peru: Peru declared a state of emergency in 893 districts across 23 regions for 60 days as El Niño threatens heavy rains, flooding, and landslides, with officials urging stronger infrastructure, evacuation routes, and humanitarian stockpiles; forecasts suggest a 70% chance El Niño reaches exceptionally strong levels between September 2026 and January 2027. El Niño’s Wider Ripples: A rare “train” of Pacific cyclones is forming as historically warm El Niño waters fuel multiple hurricanes and a strengthening tropical storm, raising concerns for impacts on places like Hawaii still recovering from recent flooding. Amazon Health Under Pressure: In Peru’s recently contacted Matsés territory, drought and intensifying El Niño are worsening outbreaks of malaria and hepatitis B, threatening nearby isolated communities and disrupting river access to care. Wildlife Under Stress: Researchers in Chile developed copper-threaded vests to help injured Humboldt penguins heal faster as El Niño worsens food scarcity and adds pressure from fishing nets and plastic pollution. Conservation + Indigenous Rights: Ecological anthropologist Michael Painter, who helped link conservation with Indigenous land rights across Bolivia, died in February 2026.
