TY - JOUR AU - Montag, Doreen AB - Abstract Despite mitigation attempts, the trajectory of climate change remains on an accelerated path, with devastating health impacts. As a response to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change call for National Adaptation Plans, Peru has developed a national and decentralized regional adaptation plans. The purpose of this article is to understand the role and priority status of health within the adaptation planning and process. Peru was used as a case study to analyse the policy process in the creation of adaptation plans, encompassing the need to address climate change impacts on health with a particular focus on marginalized people. An actor, content and context policy analyses were conducted to analyse 17 out of 25 regional adaptation plans, which are available. The national adaptation plans (2002, 2015) do not include health as a priority or health adaptation strategies. In a decentralized health care system, regional plans demonstrate an increased improvement of complexity, systematization and structure over time (2009–17). In general, health has not been identified as a priority but as another area of impact. There is no cohesiveness between plans in format, content, planning and execution and only a limited consideration for marginalized populations. In conclusion, the regional departments of Peru stand on unequal footing regarding adapting the health sector to climate change. Findings in the strategies call into question how mitigation and adaption to climate change may be achieved. The lack of local research on health impacts due to climate change and a particular focus on marginalized people creates a policy vacuum. The Peruvian case study resembles global challenges to put health in the centre of national and regional adaptation plans. In-depth cross-country analysis is still missing but urgently needed to learn from other experiences. Climate change adaptation, health system, Peru, policy analysis, vulnerability Key Messages The Peruvian government needs to step up its plans for climate change. However, there are many barriers in the way. The lack of cohesion within, and amongst the departments, and lack of financial support is among them. There needs to be coherence among the different departmental plans. Health should be at the centre of departmental adaptation plans. Marginalized and vulnerable populations need to be at the centre of attention. Introduction Anthropogenic climate change is causing irreversible damage to the planetary system (Rockström et al., 2009), impacting peoples’ and population health (Watts et al., 2015; Whitmee et al., 2015; McMichael, 2017). Climate change is leading to an increasing risk of chronic and infectious diseases through extreme weather events, declining fresh water, and food insecurity, which will affect marginalized populations, such as Indigenous groups and minorities, more significantly than the general population worldwide (Ford, 2012). Marginalized populations are people who are historically, systematically, socially marginalized with limited access to quality health prevention, care and education (Stephens et al., 2005). Climate change is having direct and indirect impacts on health (McMichael et al., 2006; Frumkin et al., 2008), often defined as primary, secondary and tertiary impacts (Butler and Harley, 2010; McMichael, 2014). While direct impacts are related to weather extremes, heatwaves and increased air pollution, leading to an increased risk in chronic diseases, and infectious diseases (Watts et al., 2018), indirect impacts are related to disturbances in the ecosystem, defined by the interrelationship of climate change with other planetary boundaries, such as biodiversity loss, and their impact on chronic and infectious disease and mental health (Whitmee et al., 2015; Marselle et al., 2019). Sociocultural well-being is at risk on both individual and group levels (Berry et al., 2010; Bourque and Cunsolo Willox, 2014; Padhy et al., 2015). People will experience new challenges when it comes to the incidence and prevalence of diseases and hardships, and the social determinants of health will become exacerbated (Pickett and Wilkinson, 2015; Levy et al., 2017; Rossati, 2017). Consequently, it is necessary to reflect upon the social, economic, educational and cultural factors that create an unequal society, with social structures that serve to widen disparities under climate change (Breilh Paz y Miño, 2012). Social determination is often rooted in colonial structures, heightened by globalization as many populations are violently forced to adapt to a globalizing world (Quijano, 2000; Cadena de la, 2005, 2010; Quijano, 2007; Sulmont, 2011; Grillo and Sharon, 2012; Stetson, 2012; Shannon et al., 2017; Quijano, 2017). As a consequence, indigenous people are facing an unequal risk of mental health under climate change (Durkalec et al., 2015). Low- and middle-income countries, such as Peru will experience disproportionately poorer health outcomes (Balbus and Malina, 2009; Dulal et al., 2009; Myers and Patz, 2009; Watts et al., 2015). Peru is rich in biodiversity (Bass et al., 2010; Finer et al., 2015; Codato et al., 2019). Each member of its 32 165 485 (The World Bank, 2017) population is at risk, in addition to its unique ecosystem. In Peru, 16% identify as Indigenous, and about 3% identify as Afro-Peruvian. Indigenous and Afro-Peruvian people have been historically marginalized within society (The World Bank, 2017). As one of the few countries with Indigenous people living in voluntary isolation, in addition to the 55 recognized groups, 51 from the Amazon and 4 from the Andes, the vulnerability of these groups is heightened (INEI, 2009). Research on climate change impacts on health in Peru is in its infancies but is rapidly growing (Gonzales et al., 2014; Figueroa, 2016; Burstein Roda, 2016; Burstein-Roda, 2018), with evidence emerging about water security and public health (Burstein-Roda, 2018; Cabezas Sánchez, 2018), risks to health care establishments (Hernández-Vásquez et al., 2016), mental health (Soto-Cáceres, 2015), chronic disease, food security among marginalized populations (Sherman et al., 2015; Zavaleta et al., 2018), heatwaves and health (Aguilar-León and Solano-Zapata, 2016) and overall health system challenges (Ruiz and Smith Torres-Román, 2016). Current research focuses on the northern Peruvian and the Amazon region. The northern coast is an area that is prone to be affected by more intense El Niño phenomena, with implicated increased flooding and heatwaves, and increased risk for water- and vector-borne diseases, mental health risk and mortality (Soto-Cáceres, 2015; Aguilar-León and Solano-Zapata, 2016; Cabezas et al., 2017). Other research focuses on the Amazon region with higher risk to flooding and food insecurity, increasing the risks of chronic diseases among others (Sherman et al., 2015; Zavaleta et al., 2018). There is a need for expansion into the diverse ecological regions in Peru to inform policies, analysing the relationship of biodiversity loss, climate change and health, impacting vector-borne diseases, food security, water quality, access to medicines, chronic diseases and mental health (Montag et al., 2017). Ford et al. (2018), Sherman et al. (2015) and Zavaleta et al. (2018) emphasize the importance of specific indigenous health adaptation to climate change based on community interventions in Peru. Community adaptive interventions are a sustainable form of adaptive policies to climate change challenges, particularly for the most vulnerable with limited access to public institutions and resources (Ebi and Semenza, 2008; Ebi, 2009; Ford et al., 2018). Adaptation to climate change has become important in international climate policy alongside adaptation frameworks to climate change impact on health (Schipper, 2006; Bowen et al., 2011; Bowen and Friel, 2012). Bowen et al. (2011) present an integrative framework of climate change impact on health, on peoples’ and population vulnerability and adaptive capabilities for resilience building, addressing place and social determinants to emphasize an integral, interdisciplinary framework of governance. Avilez et al. (2016) argue that mitigation and adaptation politics centred around chronic disease prevention will have an opportunity to comply with international climate change agreements and reduce the burden of increased chronic diseases in Peru. It will be important to develop local research-based adaptation frameworks for adaptation policy. The United Nations Framework for Climate Change Convention (UNFCCC) has since 1992 led global climate policy (Ramakrishna, 2000; Schipper, 2006). Their annual intergovernmental meetings and milestone agreements to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as Kyoto and Paris agreement, are determining national policy-making (Falkner, 2016). Peru, following the UNFCCC agreements, published its first national communication on climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies in 2001 (CONAM, 2001), followed by its first National Strategy for Climate Change1 (NAP) in 2002 (CONAM, 2002). In 2002, the regionalization process started in Peru and with it the regional responsibility for policy development (Presidencia del Perú, 2002), which led 17 out of 25 regional departments plus Lima Metropolitan to develop their regional climate change strategies between 2009 and 2017 (MINAM, 2016). In 2010, the newly founded Ministry of Environment (2008) published its second national communication, updating on the regional development processes and national advances (MINAM, 2010a). In 2009 and 2011, the Ministry of Environment (MINAM) published guidelines for the development of regional adaptation plans to climate change, which were essential for regional planning processes. In 2014, a legal decree was published to ensure the development of a Health National Adaptation Plan (HNAP) (MINSA, 2014), align with international regulations and the WHO guidelines (WHO, 2014). This is currently in development. In 2015, the updated NAP was published and a third national communication on progress in 2016 (MINAM, 2015, 2016). As per the UNFCCC, the NAP should be integrated into the Peruvian governance system, and into the health system (UNFCCC, 2014). The most distinctive feature of the Peruvian governance system, and particularly its health system, is its fragmentation and decentralization (Alcalde-Rabanal et al., 2011; Velásquez et al., 2016). The Regional and 2015 National Strategies are the latest in a series of projects with the objective of reducing adverse impacts of climate change by conducting vulnerability studies to identify zones and sectors most vulnerable to climate change in order to implement mitigation and adaptation projects (MINAM , 2015; Vieira et al., 2019). How vulnerability studies are related to analysis and particular focus on marginalized populations in each region, who are the ones at highest risk, is a leading question of this analysis. This article seeks to analyse the preparedness of the Peruvian health system for the impacts of climate change through a policy analysis based on the National Strategy for Climate Change and regional strategies for climate change using Walt and Gilson (1994) policy framework. The article argues that health for the most marginalized people is not sufficiently included in the regional strategies to assure health equity under climate change. While the Indigenous and Afro-Peruvian populations inhabit varying regions throughout the country, the accumulation of centuries of institutional and structural racism, leading to their marginalization, will remain as barriers to effective implementation of equitable climate change policies (Castro et al., 2015; Gold, 2016). Even in urban areas, which people of varying socioeconomic statuses co-inhabit, marginalized populations tend to inhabit lower-lying areas prone to flooding and are more so susceptible to poor living conditions in general (Hofmeijer et al., 2013; Francesconi et al., 2015; Sorribas et al., 2016; Bodmer et al., 2017). The article will contribute by characterizing the deficits in the climate change adaptation strategies, specifically in the health sector and identify possible avenues for including the health sector in future adaptation interventions. Materials and methods Context: health care system The Peruvian health care system is divided into various subsystems, each of them providing services to multiple subgroups. The Ministry of Health (MINSA) is the largest and offers services to the majority of the population, there is also EsSalud2, the Armed Forces Health Services, National Police Health services and the private sector (Jiménez et al., 2017). To some extent, each health subsystem in Peru operates as a separate health system, within a much lighter-touch horizontal framework, and with little co-ordination of functions between them (Vermeersch et al., 2014). Peruvians will have different ways of financing health care, depending on their socioeconomic characteristics. The poorest and most vulnerable are financially protected by the governmental Integral Health Insurance, and the Ministry of Health provides them with the care they need (Vammalle et al., 2018), but still a large sector assumes these expenses as out-of-pocket expenses. One additional characteristic of the services provided by the Ministry of Health is that they are decentralized. Regional governments manage all health services through Regional Health Directorates (DIRESA) (Francke, 2013; Vermeersch et al., 2014; Atun et al., 2015; Gold, 2016). The decentralization process, however, does not establish precise mechanisms to define priorities and policies for services (Francke, 2013). Each subsystem operates its clinics and hospitals [health care providers, Institutions of Health Services Provision (IPRESS)].3 Benefits provided are in-kind, following broad provisions set in their corresponding legal frameworks, including preventive and curative services. The types of health interventions depend on the definition of national priorities, policies, plans and financing, as well as the Regional health priorities, policies, procedures and funding, and the capabilities for responding developed by the IPRESS, regarding human resources, technology and supplies. Methodology A policy analysis was conducted to analyse actor, content and context of the 17 out of 25 regional adaptation plans. The Walt and Gilson approach to health policy analysis (Walt and Gilson, 1994; Walt et al., 2008) emphasizes the complexity of social, political and economic interactions that allow us to analyse the health policies found in the Regional Strategy for Climate Change (ERCC) and the 2002 and 2015 National Strategy for Climate Change (ENCC) to follow the decision-making process and discover efficient routes of policy implementation. In accordance with Walt et al. (2008) emphasis on declaring the authors positionality in the research process, the team is composed of senior Peruvian health system and policy experts, who have had or currently have public policy posts in the health system, an anthropologist with Peruvian research experience on environmental degradation and health among indigenous people, and a former MSc student in Global Health and Public Policy. The research has been designed by the senior experts and conducted under the supervision of the senior author by the MSc student as her dissertation project. Policies were triple reviewed by the second first author and the senior author of this article. The experts’ experience played an essential role in the contextualization and interpretation of the research data, supporting the students’ research and developing it afterwards for publication. Walt and Gilson (1994) policy approach considers content, context, process and actors as equally important. The context allows us to determine how health policy has changed, and how future strategies are best implemented. Actors were identified by their role in committees and participation in the execution of objectives as determined by the Regional Strategies for Climate Change (ERCC). Process is mostly affected by the actors and may be determined by the position of the actor, and how they impact the origins, formulation and implementation of policy (Walt and Gilson, 1994). The content analysis evaluates the body of the policy (Walt and Gilson, 1994), which allows us to identify perspective, the possibility of impact and assess the resources addressed within the policy (Araújo and Maciel Filho, 2001). The central question for the content aspect of this policy analysis is whether each plan has addressed critical points brought up in the guidelines provided by the WHO (2014), taking into account that the Peruvian ENCC and ERCC processes started long before the WHO guidelines were published. WHO recommends that for each country working on a NAP there should be a health component, an HNAP. To best align the health adaptation planning process with the national process for developing an HNAP, the WHO (2014) lays out various suggestions. HNAPs should use the best available science, which co-ordinates with the overall national climate change adaptation plan/process, in addition to promoting sustainability of health adaptation efforts. These efforts must co-ordinate regional and national processes and plan to ensure proper implementation and sustainability of health adaptation processes. Additionally, the health sector needs to organize and communicate its institutional arrangements and implement adaptation to climate change at the national level. HNAPs must be specific in ways in which the country can achieve national health adaptation, with resources currently available to them, and building on existing national efforts towards health adaptation to climate change. Essential to include in the HNAP are vulnerability assessments, development and implementation of policies, and programmes at local to national levels. In terms of actors, each plan must establish institutional participants at the national level and include ways for stakeholders to become engaged in the climate adaptation process. It is also vital for the HNAP to take into consideration the ways gender, marginalized groups and communities, and ecosystems will affect said groups concerning climate change. The WHO emphasizes to incorporate traditional and indigenous knowledge in the HNAP. Finally, the HNAP must assess climate risks, identify and plan adaptation options, prioritize health, find solutions for implementing adaptation options and monitor and evaluate adaptation options (WHO, 2014). The leading question here is, to which extend, does this exist on a regional level and what needs to be improved going forward. Data collection The regional and national plans were searched for on Google and government websites, such as the website of the Ministry of Environment, regional governmental entities and the official www.gob.pe website. Latter was particularly useful for ministerial resolutions. Seventeen out of 25 regional adaptation plans were publicly accessible. For a few, there was an updated version, which has also been analysed. For Lima, the regional and the Lima metropolitan plans were collected and analysed. Data analysis: health hazards To identify climate change health hazards, key health risks from the WHO guidelines were combined with crucial health risks found in the adaptation plans and relevant literature (OPS, 2012; Hofmeijer et al., 2013; Gonzales et al., 2014; Ebi and Villalobos Prats, 2015; Burstein Roda, 2016; Figueroa, 2016; Sánchez Zavaleta, 2016). Any natural disasters listed in the plans that are correlated to health problems have been, listed in Table 1. The terms mentioned as health risks throughout the adaptation plans are found in Table 2.

Inclusion in the study highlights the erasure of mental health from the climate change conversation, despite research explaining that mental health disorders such as anxiety, PTSD, aggression and depression will increase with climate change variability (Berry et al., 2010; Padhy et al., 2015; Levy et al., 2017; Rossati, 2017). The ‘WHO Guidance’ (WHO, 2014) informs the content analysis. The WHO (2014) recommends that for each country working on an NAP, there should be a health component, which entitled HNAP. In order to best align the health adaptation planning process with the national process for developing an HNAP, the WHO presents 11 steps, covering groundwork and knowledge assessment, preparatory elements, implementation and monitoring. Ebi and Villalobos Prats (2015) present a detailed analysis of the steps and challenges for national governments. The WHO guidelines are designed very generally to allow for individual countries to adapt to their own contexts within a participatory process. However, for countries which do not have strong research evidence, quality of health data and frameworks for adaptation on climate change impact on health, the guidelines provide a challenge (Ebi and Villalobos Prats, 2015). Results Actors As part of the NAP process, the government released a document detailing workshops held to monitor advances in the NAP process, and ways in which different actors have been working and can work together in its planification and implementation (Cancino, 2016). The Guide for the Building of the Regional Strategy for Climate Change (MINAM, 2011, 2009) gives insight into the proposed composition of actors to be involved in the process. Although climate change will significantly impact health, the health sector is often left out of climate change discussions. Numerous plans laid out the composition of the Regional Technical Group for Climate Change (RTGCG). This included details for how the duties would be divided into proposing the plan, co-ordination, approval and execution. The institutional mapping in Table 3 details the ways in which regional departments organized the RTGCCs, and ways in which the responsibilities have been divided between government and non-governmental organizations.

Apurímac (Gobierno Regional de Apurímac, 2012), Junín (Gobierno Regional Junín, 2015), Lima Metropolitan (Gobierno Regional de Lima, 2015) and Ucayali (Gobierno Regional de Ucayali, 2014), along with the 2015 ENCC (MINAM, 2015) included either the Ministry or Regional Health Directorate (DIRESA) in proposing as part of the Regional Technical Group for Climate Change (Table 1). Co-ordinating and approving the plans were left mainly to the regional governments, environmental, resource management departments and in some cases intergovernmental organizations. For Apurímac (Gobierno Regional de Apurímac, 2012), Loreto (Gobierno Regional de Loreto, 2011), Cajamarca (Gobierno Regional de Cajamarca, 2016) and Ayacucho (Gobierno Regional de Ayacucho, 2015), the leading actor in charge of carrying out adaptation strategies for the health sector is the Regional Health Directorate.4 The degree of involvement of the local Regional Health Directorate varies between regional departments. Despite including strategies (Table 4), plans and goals related to health, many regional departments lack the inclusion of the DIRESA in the execution aspect of the Regional Climate Change Strategies. Table 1 includes an overview of regional plans that have identified health actors and who have named them. Importantly, as health is not a priority in regional plans, health actors have barely been understood as a multisectoral approach to improve ecosystem health for human health protection and prevention of disease. In most cases, DIRESA is mentioned within the plans as the leading regional health authority, but there is no clear identification or designation of responsibility within the overall process (see also Table 3), which emphasizes the limited significance of health within the regional strategies.

The ERCC include the participation of over 60 institutions, while regional departments vary widely in institutional participation, from 5 to almost 75 collaborators in the technical groups (MINAM, 2010b; Gobierno Regional de Ica, 2014; Gerencia del Ambiente, 2015; MINAM, 2016). While all of them include government institutions, they do not include the same institutions. None involved the Regional Health Directorate, the Ministry of Health,5 or IPRESS in the planning of the Regional Climate Change Strategies. A full list of the institutions taking part in proposing, co-ordinating, approving and executing the plan can be found in Table 3. For those that did not include such a table, the categories were filled using institutions mentioned in the technical groups as taking part in a task or objective. Figure 1 elaborates the variations found in the GTRCC compositions, where regional departments have chosen to involve institutions and organizations from across diverse backgrounds at different rates. Most of the regional departments have majority government institutions engaged, except for Junín (Gobierno Regional Junín., 2015), who has a strong presence of civic organizations and has included many of them in the GTRCC. Ica (Gobierno Regional de Ica., 2014) and Ucayali (Gobierno Regional de Ucayali, 2014) included petroleum and mining companies in the GTRCC, as shown in Figure 1, signalling their importance in the community, despite the potential dangers they pose both to the communities in terms of environmental, occupational and health hazards, but also their roles in the mitigation and adaptation to climate change.

Missing departments did not provide adequate information for institutional mapping. The context for the regional climate change strategies and the national climate change strategy: Peru and climate change Each regional department has considered their unique background. For example, Ucayali (Amazon) recognizes the need for further research and knowledge accumulation into how climate change will affect their region (Gobierno Regional de Ucayali, 2014). The Regional Technical Group for Climate Change recognizes the importance of local biodiversity and local biodiversity knowledge. Therefore, included in the plans for adaptation and mitigation is an incorporation of the use of traditional knowledge from indigenous populations (Gobierno Regional de Ucayali, 2014) (see also Table 4). As a country with a diverse geography (Coast, Andes, Amazon), most regional departments recognize a unique challenge in addressing their specific health needs as climate change alters the land where people live. Most regional departments are in biodiverse areas, which brings about fears of loss of genetic diversity in plants used for agriculture and medicine, along with a loss of diversity in animal species. Such depletion can destabilize ecosystems and create adverse effects for humans as well (Gobierno Regional de Ucayali, 2014). Huanuco’s focus on ecosystem health and biodiversity protection for human health prevention is a unique response to regional context and recognition of embeddedness of human within ecosystem health (Gobierno Regional de Huánuco, 2017). Content—climate change adaptation and health All regional strategies take into consideration the effects of climate change on their region, but not all of them examine in detail the impacts of climate change on health. The national strategies from 2002 and 2015 have very limited to non-analysis of health. This is much more elaborated on the regional level. Health becomes more prominent in regional plans published after 2011, with explicit allocation of whole sections or chapters in each plan. However, health is often related to infrastructure and health services and not in relation to ecosystem health (Table 1). There is no definition of health within the context of climate change, ecosystem and planetary health, which leads to a limited if not non-existential transdisciplinary approach. There is general data Regional and National climate data analysis, epidemiological information, surveillance of climate change variability, response to climatic events and a vulnerability assessment (Table 1). This information indicates the paths through which climate change will most likely impact their region and includes vulnerability/risk assessment of the most vulnerable areas that will be affected by climate change. The source of these data varies and may use past incidences as indicators for future climatic events, or through conducting original research. All regional departments except for La Libertad have been able to apply such data to the health sector. Health hazards vary according to the diverse geography of the country, and this is reflected in the variable emphasis placed on diseases throughout the ERCC. As shown in Table 1, two of the most discussed health hazards were food security/mal-nutrition and airborne/respiratory infections. These are linked to two of the most pressing concerns for the impacts of natural disasters. One of the main concerns is flooding and intense rains, which damages homes, flood agricultural lands, cause health facilities damage and additionally disrupt sewage and sanitary systems, causing waterborne diseases outbreaks (Du et al., 2010; Ahern and Kovats, 2013). The other hazard identified is drought, which causes the agricultural land to become less fertile, thus shifting agriculture to new areas of production, in addition to creating heat-related illnesses, especially in vulnerable populations (Sena et al., 2017). Food security can be linked to agriculture and failed crops that will be caused by variable weather/climate (Myers et al., 2017), while respiratory infections are related to air pollution (Macintyre et al., 2014; Croft et al., 2019). While food security was not defined in any of the plans, regional departments such as Ayacucho (Gobierno Regional de Ayacucho, 2015) have formed specialised taskforces6 to deal with the issue, and have partnered with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations among others (see Table 1). Cusco and Cajamarca identify ecosystem deterioration and biodiversity loss as a result of climate change and impact on human health (Gobierno Regional de Cusco, 2012; Whitmee et al., 2015; Gobierno Regional de Cajamarca, 2016; Marselle et al., 2019). Health infrastructure includes the ability to provide services at health posts or hospitals once damage has occurred and having the capacity to rebuild afterwards. Departments that have experienced intense flooding, landslides or ‘El Niño’ events in the past described health infrastructure as being at risk for further damage as climate change progresses (Gobierno Regional de Lambayeque, 2010; Gobierno Regional de la Libertad, 2011; Gobierno Regional de Apurímac, 2012; Gobierno Regional de Ica, 2014; Gobierno Regional Junín, 2015). Content—health-related adaptation strategies The 2009 and 2011 MINAM published guidelines for creating regional strategies for climate change are mentioning health to be taken into account for adaptation interventions, but with no specific guidance on how to go about it (MINAM, 2009, 2011). While regional departments were able to identify health issues related to climate change, Arequipa (Gobierno Regional de Arequipa, 2009) and Gobierno Regional de Lambayeque (2010) who published their first plans before 2011 have not included health-related strategies (Table 4). Gobierno Regional de Lambayeque (2016a) has, however, done so in their updated plan, while Arequipa has not updated the content of their 2009 plan. Table 4 presents the adaptation strategies elaborated in the diverse ERCC. They can be summarized as focusing on capacity building on all levels, including institutional, knowledge, adaptive strategy development, research and infrastructure. Strengthening and improving surveillance in relation to climate change, yet it is not clear if that includes climate-sensitive data and collaboration between institutions. Cusco (Gobierno Regional de Cusco, 2012) and Apurímac (Gobierno Regional de Apurímac, 2012), mention the recuperation and use of traditional plant knowledge. Huánuco is the only región to have a strategy on biodiversity conservation and ecosystem health for human health protection (Gobierno Regional de Huánuco, 2017). They also include regional knowledge construction (Gobierno Regional de Huánuco, 2017). Cusco as the only regional department has a strategy to focus on socioemotional health of people due to climate change (Gobierno Regional de Cusco, 2012). Ayacucho also includes research on vulnerable groups and specific adaptations for vulnerable groups (Gobierno Regional de Ayacucho, 2015). As vulnerable groups are mentioned, people living in poverty, and in other plans, children under five, pregnant women and elderly people. Marginalized people, such as indigenous people and African-Peruvian, are not mentioned in the plans. Overall, regional departments focus on financial investment in infrastructure strengthening and for human resources. There are no health-related adaptations at the national level. Most of the regional departments have created methods to monitor the process of the adaptation plans and projects outlined in their strategies sections, and benchmarked goals to evaluate them in the future. Process The national adaption plans from 2002 and 2015 describe in detail national legal and conceptual processes influencing the adaption plan development as much as progress on adaptation initiatives (CONAM, 2002; Cancino, 2016). The national communication plans 1–3 (CONAM, 2001; MINAM, 2010a; Cancino, 2016), plus the workshop proceedings from 2016 (Cancino, 2016), monitor advances in the NAP process, legal developments, priority and strategy formulation and ways in which different actors can collaborate in its implementation. ERCCs have followed advise from the MINAM guidelines to develop regional GTRCC to design and implement regional strategies (MINAM, 2009, 2011). ERCC’s who have not followed the MINAM guidelines are less structured and with much less substance. Strategies that have followed the MINAM (2011) guidelines have gained in structure and systematization of information and strategies. Another improvement is to be seen in those ERCC’s published after 2015, which falls after the 2015 NAP publication (MINAM, 2015). Table 5 presents a summary of the regional and national processes, listing actors that have been involved in the establishing and formulation processes, the legal documents that were used, process supporting documents and regulations.

MINAM(2015, pp. 9, 19, 33, 41) National Adaptation Plan Reduce adverse impacts of climate change through integrated vulnerability and adaptation studies, which will identify vulnerable areas and/or sectors in the country where adaptation projects will be implemented. The process of preparing the National Climate Change Strategy is based on the document created by the National Commission in Cusipata (2001). It outlines 11 strategic lines with their respective strategic objectives and strategic goals (developed by thematic working groups). Additionally, a workshop on prioritization of strategic lines was held. United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC); Kyoto Protocol; Supreme Decree 086-2003-PCM (published by the ENCC) National Communication of Peru to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change CONAM (2002, pp. 9–13, 15) Open in new tab Discussion The regional departments have developed unique strategies, emphasizing distinct actors, local environment and citizen needs. The two NAPs (CONAM, 2002; MINAM, 2015) and the three national communications on climate change adaptation and mitigation process (CONAM, 2001; MINAM, 2010a; MINAM, 2016) have primarily focused on environmental conservation and mitigation. The National and Regional Climate Change Strategies help widen the scope of adaptation to new fields, including health, sanitation and housing (MINAM, 2015; MINAM, 2016). The regional strategies reflect what Burstein Roda (2016), Sánchez Zavaleta (2016) describe for the overall policy context that health has not been a priority so far regarding mitigation or adaptation of climate change. Importantly, the first regional strategies were developed without any guidance on the health component, taking into account that health was not even mentioned in the first NAP from 2002 (CONAM, 2002). With improvement on the MINAM guidance in 2009 and 2011, the consideration of health within the plans has been improved; however, there has not been a clear strategy of analysis, of inclusion of scientific knowledge or frameworks for risk and vulnerability assessment. There has been no clear differentiation between primary, secondary and tertiary impacts and its relationship to ecosystem health and therefore the need for interdisciplinary research and interventions (Butler and Harley, 2010; Bowen et al., 2011; Butler, 2014; McMichael, 2014; Whitmee et al., 2015; Marselle et al., 2019). The impact of climate change on chronic diseases has not been addressed at all (Avilez et al., 2016) and mental health is only as socioemotional support in the regional plan by Cusco (Table 4). Loreto mentions the need for research (Table 4), which in fact has been undertaken in the recent years and could inform future updated strategies (Zavaleta et al., 2018). It is expected that the current HNAP development, will change the national scenario and have an impact on future regional strategies. According to ‘Peru Adapts’7 (Cancino, 2016), health is one of the priority areas for implementation of the NAP, along with water, agriculture, fishing, aquaculture and forests. In this document, specific health sector priorities include concentrating on universal health coverage, decreasing rates of communicable and non-communicable diseases, monitoring emerging diseases and implementation of electronic patient files and integrated systems in department capitals (Cancino, 2016). While general potential health impacts are discussed, regional details are not specified. A specific guidance on how regional strategies should prioritize health and why and how health is intrinsically linked to and embedded within ecosystem health will be fundamental to developing lasting adaptation policies that go beyond simple enumerating of past epidemiology and perceived vulnerabilities. As per (Cancino, 2016) success of the health sector will be dependent upon good governance and ultimately suggest the reinstitution of the ‘Sectorial Climate Change Commission8’ to oversee the changes that need to be brought about in the health sector in the face of climate change (p. 11). However, a strengthening of the health care system is central to adaptation frameworks, and universal coverage is an important step in health care system strengthening to protect population from negative health outcomes (Bowen et al., 2011; Bowen and Friel, 2012; Vermeersch et al., 2014; Burstein Roda, 2016; Velásquez et al., 2016). Recent developments in Peru include declaring access to medicines as a human right and introducing universal health coverage, which will be an essential step forward to protect the Peruvian population from negative health outcomes (Poder Ejecutivo Perú, 2019a,b). Marginalized populations and vulnerabilities Vulnerabilities are mentioned in the plans in relation to age, gender, geographies and economic status. Gender, geography and economic status are part of social determination that puts people at a higher risk than others to suffering and ill health (Curtis and Rees Jones, 1998; Breilh Paz y Miño, 2003; Stewart et al., 2009; Brown and Moon, 2012; Shannon et al., 2017). There has been no critical engagement with social determination and particularly not in relation to the most marginalized, ethnic and minority groups in Peru who have been forced to live in environmentally harsh and degraded areas with limited or no access to health care. There is not much literature on climate change in the Afro-Peruvian populations, and while there is some on the indigenous communities in Peru, the research is still lacking (Hofmeijer et al., 2013). Ford et al. (2018), Hofmeijer et al. (2013), Sherman et al. (2015) and Zavaleta et al. (2018) lay the groundwork for vulnerability analysis of climate change on health in different Amerindian communities in the regional Department of Loreto and Ucayali. The authors also use a community adaptation framework as emphasized by Ebi and Semenza (2008) and Ebi (2009). AIDESEP (2016), the Interethnic Association of the Development of the Peruvian Amazon, presents an adaptation plan with a specific focus on gender for their Kechwa people in the Cumbaza basin, within regional department of San Martin. This shows the importance of vulnerability analysis, participation, academic and local knowledge inclusion that is central to health-centred governance in the Anthropocene and happens to be missing from most regional plans (Bowen et al., 2011; AIDESEP, 2016). Numerous plans mention using indigenous knowledge and incorporating it into their adaptation and mitigation plan, such as Apurimac and Ucayali (Table 4), but do not specify who from the community they will obtain this knowledge from, or how this person/people/organization can be integrated into the existing governance system. Indigenous people, however, being at a higher risk than others are not topic within the plans. There seems no clear and strategic inclusion of representatives of marginalized groups within the creation of the plans. There is minimal discussion on gender as a determinant of health. Ayacucho, Lima and Ucayali are the only regional departments to mention gender (Gobierno Regional de Ucayali, 2014 Gerencia del Ambiente, 2015; Gobierno Regional de Ayacucho, 2015). Ucayali places emphasis on bringing about gender equality, especially since inequalities may be exacerbated by climate change (Gobierno Regional de Ucayali , 2014). They intend on using their focus on gender as an integral part of the design, implementation, monitor and evaluation of the policies and programmes found in the Regional Climate Change Strategies (Gobierno Regional de Ucayali, 2014; Gerencia del Ambiente, 2015; Gobierno Regional de Ayacucho, 2015). Marginalization because of gender is a crucial day to day reality in Peru, therefore, a gender approach needs to become essential for climate change adaptation in urban and rural contexts in Peru (Gumucio and Rueda, 2015; AIDESEP, 2016; Arana, 2016). Characterization of deficits in strategies It is also essential to remember that health adaptation is an iterative process and that plans should be produced iteratively, taking into consideration that climate change will occur over an extended period with health effects to be expected over many years and impacts on health will always be in a flux (Tompkins and Adger, 2005; Tschakert and Dietrich, 2010; Hess et al., 2012; LCD Expert Group, 2012; Gramberger et al., 2015). It is unclear how this iterative process is structured throughout the plans, taking into account aspects of institutional instability in Peru, as much as the need for continues research informing the policy process (Figueroa and Barrón, 2005; Helmke, 2010; Zegarra, 2015). Adaptation in the health system should prepare communities for changes that will increase the incidence, seasonality or geographic range of climate-relevant health outcomes (see Table 1) (Hofmeijer et al., 2013; Aguilar-León and Solano-Zapata, 2016; Hernández-Vásquez et al., 2016; Miranda et al., 2016; Mark et al., 2017; Ramírez and Briones, 2017; Tito et al., 2018; Watts et al., 2018). It is unclear if the WHO guidelines already had an impact on regional plans and if they had and how they will have an impact in the future on regional plans. Will there be a regional health adaptation plan for each regional department? Theoretically, this would be the way, if health would not become a specific case of more nationalized policies. While, capacity is an important aspect of adaptation plans in relation to the health sector, community adaptations as it is suggested by Ebi et al. (2006), Ebi and Semenza (2008), Ebi and Otmani del Barrio (2017) is not a topic at all. Analysing the adaptations and the descriptions of potential impacts on health, it is clear that specific guidelines on a systemic analysis and approach to impact assessment and responses including experts and actors in all phases would improve the quality and ensure lasting impacts of the plans (Charron, 2012). The Peruvian case study within a global context Ebi and Otmani del Barrio (2017) analyse global lessons learned in climate change adaptation, Araos et al. (2016) present the necessity of a global baseline for urban adaptation policies and Berry et al. (2010) analyse global progress on national and local adaptations and its challenges. There is an increasing number of Peruvian academics working on the topic and rethinking their research area, such as chronic and infectious diseases within an Anthropocene context (Avilez et al., 2016; Quispe et al., 2016; Ford et al., 2018). Austin et al. (2018) article on the challenges of federalist states, in their case Germany and Canada, to develop adaptation strategies has shown challenges based on diverse local and regional networks and processes of agreement with national level. It is not much known about the processes in-depth and further research will be necessary. However, what is clear that changes in government and political discrepancies might well have an impact, which might be laid out in institutional instability and deserves in-depth research, which would also allow on how to develop a response that is in regional and national interest independent of governmental changes on local, federal and national level. While Austin et al. (2016) analyse the commonalities and challenges of health adaptations across Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries, there is no such analysis in relation to either middle- or low-income countries or more interestingly in relation to regional integration processes for the European Union, the Asian Regional Network or the Andean Community or Mercosur, for example. Conclusion The adaptation plans are incredibly uneven, with regional departments that have made outstanding efforts to create comprehensive plans, conducting the necessary research, devising strategies for the various sectors that will be impacted by climate change and formulating ideas for practical implementation that include evaluation and monitoring to create an iterative process. On the other hand, there are ideas and plans being thrown out into the policy world, but there is not always the data, knowledge, attention to detail or capacity to back them up and carry them out to ensure proper implementation. The common theme of the Regional Climate Change Strategies is the objectives they want to achieve and how to measure them, but limited information on implementing strategies to ensure the objectives are met. Future research should map the NHA and apply the Instrument for the Performance evaluation of the NHA steering role as specified by the steering document (PAHO et al., 2007), in which the NHA identifies and evaluates weaknesses, and identifies bottlenecks within the health sector impeding progress. When we consider health under anthropogenic climate change, health systems need to be strengthened to support the well-being and health of populations. Additionally, mental health needs to be included in the conversation. In the end, it seems that the Regional Climate Change Strategies and the National Climate Change Strategy have not accomplished much, they have failed to adequately plan and set in motion preparations to safeguard the future health of the Peruvian population. This could be improved by a national process of accountability to ensure quality of ERCC’s, NAP and HNAP and their implementation. In order to bring health to the forefront of the adaptation conversation, it may be necessary for the DIRESA to create a guide separate from the existing strategies for regional health adaptation strategies to climate change. From there, health policies may be folded into the larger conversation on climate change adaptation and included in departmental and national strategies. This will include the collaboration of the health department with other departments such as the environmental department, which have already set their goals and strategies in some cases. Meteorological data are widely known to be lacking, and improvement in tracking of such data have been declared a goal in many of the plans. We recommend a policy that lays out the ways in which the national government and the regional departments will partner in order to combat health effects of climate change. The national government needs to provide more substantial support for the departments in terms of human resources, capacity building, structural change and financing. Finally, this case study resembles global challenges putting health in the centre of national adaptation plans. In-depth case studies and cross-country analysis are still missing but urgently needed to learn from other experiences. We need to understand better what countries are doing, how they are doing it and what works, why and how, so that we can learn and improve urgently needed health-centred national adaptations to climate change.
