In a landmark collaboration, Grupo Perú and the Ministry of Environment of Perú (MINAM) partnered to develop the world’s first Indigenous Jurisdictional REDD+ Program under the Architecture for REDD+ Transactions (ART). This groundbreaking initiative reinforces the importance of Indigenous governance and traditional knowledge in forest protection and serves as a global model for how governments and communities can work together to drive meaningful climate action.
The Indigenous organizations of Grupo Perú and the Ministry of Environment of Perú (MINAM) received the 2025 ACR Innovation Award for partnering to develop the world’s first Indigenous Jurisdictional REDD+ Program under the Architecture for REDD+ Transactions (ART). ACR recently developed a case study about the program, which is available in English and Spanish.
ART developed a video about the initiative, including interviews with leaders from Grupo Perú (ANECAP, AIDESEP and CONAP) and MINAM. The video is available in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese below.
