Lima’s Chamber of Commerce and the Ministry of the Environment will hold the first International Forum on Climate Change on September 3, 2009. More than one hundred companies will debate the implications of climate change on the world and regional economy.
The point of the forum is to contribute to the international debate on climate change, to understand public opinion, and to measure the support of business elements. They will also discuss the impact of climate change on the access to potable water, the production of food and goods, and health.
According to the Institute of Economy and Business Development, agriculture will be the most affected by climate change, shortly followed by the fishing industry. Also, the demand for energy is expected to increase due to intense droughts and the melting of Andean glaciers.
