Abstract
El reloj climático avanza. Es un hecho que los cambios observados en las últimas décadas son rápidos, extendidos y, en ciertos casos, definitivos, lo que representa un llamado urgente a la acción global. El cambio climático ya impacta a todas las regiones, y sus efectos se intensificarán con cada grado de calentamiento (IPCC, 2021). La respuesta global a esta crisis se manifiesta a través de instrumentos como el Acuerdo de París y los compromisos nacionales vinculantes. A nivel nacional, el Perú se comprometió, en el marco de dicho acuerdo, a reducir sus emisiones de GEI en un 30% para el 2030. En el 2020, este objetivo se amplió al 40%, con el propósito de alcanzar el carbono neutralidad para el 2050. Consciente de su papel, una mina de cobre asumiendo su responsabilidad, ha realizado un Inventario de Emisiones de Gases de Efecto Invernadero para dos años determinados. Aplicando la metodología ISO 14064-1:2018, las emisiones de GEI asociadas a sus actividades corporativas alcanzaron en el año 1 el valor de 997,600 tCO2eq y en el año 2 un valor de 521,200 tCO2eq. Así, el propósito de este documento es doble: por un lado, verificar la adherencia a la metodología ISO 14064-1:2018 y, por otro, analizar el ciclo de vida del cobre para sentar las bases de futuras acciones de reducción de emisiones.
The climate clock is ticking. It is a fact that the changes observed in recent decades are rapid, widespread, and, in some cases, irreversible, representing an urgent call for global action. Climate change is already impacting all regions, and its effects will intensify with each degree of warming (IPCC, 2021). The global response to this crisis is reflected in instruments such as the Paris Agreement and binding national commitments. At the national level, Peru committed, within the framework of this agreement, to reduce its GHG emissions by 30% by 2030. In 2020, this target was increased to 40%, with the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Aware of its role, a copper mine, assuming its responsibility, has conducted a Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory for two specific years. Applying the ISO 14064-1:2018 methodology, the GHG emissions associated with its corporate activities reached 997,600 tCO2eq in year 1 and 521,200 tCO2eq in year 2. Thus, the purpose of this document is twofold: on the one hand, to verify adherence to the ISO 14064-1:2018 methodology, and on the other, to analyze the life cycle of copper in order to lay the foundation for future emission reduction actions.
