REGULATORY, FINANCIAL, AND GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK IN THE REGION 5.1. The Role of Government Policies and Legislation Although the existence of a robust legal framework is a crucial step, it is not sufficient on its own to ensure the transition. In Latin America, regulatory effectiveness faces challenges related to governance, oversight, institutional continuity, and financing. In the case of Peru, this is compounded by illegal or informal mining, which generates environmental liabilities without clearly identified responsible parties. Therefore, effective governance and oversight are just as important as the legal framework for ensuring that the transition moves from theory to practice. 5.2. Incentives and Financing Mechanisms for Conversion The transition requires financing mechanisms that encourage private investment in projects with a social impact (Crouse, Weinig & Kos, 2024). These may include tax incentives, deductions for environmental investments, trusts, or the “Works for Taxes” program—a mechanism that channels corporate resources toward projects with social and economic impact.
