Instituto de Defensa Legal del Ambiente y el Desarrollo Sostenible del Perú (IDLADS Peru) initiated legal proceedings on August 14, 2023, urging the Ministry of the Environment (MINAM) to adhere to the Sixteenth Final Complementary Provision of the Regulations of Law No. 30754. This provision mandates that within a maximum of one hundred and eighty (180) business days following its enactment, MINAM, in collaboration with Indigenous or Aboriginal communities, must present to the Executive Branch a blueprint for a guarantee fund, with a special focus on prioritizing the interests of Indigenous or native peoples.

In a letter dated July 26, 2023, IDLADS formally requested MINAM comply with this legal obligation. After more than ten working days passed without a response from the authority, IDLADS proceeded with the filing of the present action. This action was taken to compel the Ministry of the Environment to fulfill its obligation as stipulated by the aforementioned regulation, considering that the specified time frame had lapsed.

In November 2023, a ruling was issued, compelling MINAM to present to the Executive Branch the design of a guarantee fund, with a clear emphasis on prioritizing the interests of indigenous or native peoples. This directive was issued within the Fifth Final Complementary Provision of the Peruvian Climate Change Framework Law (LMCC) framework.

The Institute for the Legal Defense of the Environment and Sustainable Development Association of Peru (IDLADS) submitted a petition to order MINAM to comply with the Eleventh Final Complementary Provision of the Regulations of the Climate Change Act. Said provision states that after 180 days of the regulation put in place, the Ministry should have approved guidelines or methodological documents for REDD+ actions with the participation of state and non-state actors. These REDD+ actions refer to a process which supports countries' efforts to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, and foster conservation, sustainable management of forests, and enhancement of forest carbon stocks. 

The Institute for the Legal Defense of the Environment and Sustainable Development Association of Peru (IDLADS) submitted a petition to order the Ministry of the Environment (MINAM) to comply with the Sixteenth Final Complementary Provision of the Regulations of the Climate Change Act. This provision states that MINAM should have in place a guarantee fund to promote investment in renewable and clean energy, food, security, technological development, and innovation in climate change adaptation, and other services for, and with the participation of, native peoples. The Court found this action meritorious and approved of the Enforcement Action. 

IDLADS submitted a petition under the Seventeenth Final Complementary Provision of the Regulations of the Climate Change Act. This provision stipulates that MINAM has to prepare a regulatory proposal that classifies and punishes actions related to acts or conducts on forest carbon capture and REDD+ in coordination with national organizations representing indigenous or native peoples within a period of 180 working days.
