Peru will reques economic compensation from industrialized countries considering that they have caused serious environmental damage.

The request will take place during the Fourth United Nations Summit on Climate Change (COP 15) to be held in the city of Copenhagen (Denmark) in December, according to the Ministry of Production.

"During this important forum, the Environmental Minister Antonio Brack, will speak not only about having adequate control of the environmental issue, but also will request that countries that have been victims of climate change, such as Peru, can receive a compensation," said Minister of Production, Mercedes Araoz.

"We also will propose the possibility of selling environmental services, and to use this tool as a way of mitigating the effects of climate change," she said
