[PARTICIPATION] COP25
[PARTICIPATION] COP25
Madrid, December 2-6, 2019
The 2019 United Nations Climate Change Conference was the 25th conference of the parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Professor Sofía Castro, from the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, participated in the event as part of the Peruvian delegation with the objective to connect with national and international decision-makers working on the topics of water resources, climate change, and mountain and glacier environments and that could potentially contribute to fulfilling the objectives of the PEGASUS project.

[VISIT] Project presentation to the communities San Isidro de Chicón, Pitumarca, Sicuani and Phinaya
2019
On June 10 and 12, 2019, the first field trip of the PEGASUS project was carried out in Cusco, where the areas of San Isidro de Chicón, Pitumarca, Sicuani, Phinaya and Sibinacocha were visited. The objective of this field trip was to meet with the authorities of the communities involved in the study area of the project to briefly introduce the project, present part of the research team and request the respective permits required for the different planned activities. Likewise, two of the sites where measurements will be carried out as part of the investigation were visited to make a recognition of the study area.
