11. Main INIA Actions on Climate Change
1. Development of agroforestry technologies
2. Transfer technology to local farmers
3. Installation of germplasm banks for forest species
4. Promotion of the use of Forest species with
Economic potential
5. Studies on carbon stocks in different land use
types
14. Deforestation and degradation

27. The State’s eminent domain on natural resources
The State’s “eminent domain” means that the State has eminent control
over natural resources which are National Patrimony. The State does
not own natural resources, but exercise eminent domain on them, and
thus on the goods and products offered by them until they are
granted as concession or other schemes, in accordance with the law. The
State is responsible for the resources management on behalf of the
Nation. The State is responsible for ensuring that such use is conducted
under the provisions of the relevant legislation. The state cannot "trade"
the natural resources, but it may grant rights to third parties for their
sustainable use according to pertinent law.

si es que redujeran las emisiones
producidas por la deforestación?
32. Outcomes:
+ Increased national partners capacity about REDD
and carbon accounting.
+ Increased awareness of national partners on the
differences between deforestation and degradation
+ Increased awareness about the importance of trees
on farms for carbon accounting in the Peruvian
Andean-Amazon
+ Testing methods for landscape carbon accounting in
the Amazon.
