Peruvian President Ollanta Humala appealed to the international community to mitigate the impact of global warming. "We call on the international community to take concrete measures about the climate change issue," Humala told the press after the United Nations Development Program in Lima released the 2011 World Report on Human Development. Humala said Latin American countries are affected by climate change seriously, noting the melting of the Peruvian Andean glaciers is a symptom of this negative phenomenon. He said the melting of glaciers has caused the water level of highland lagoons in the Andean area to rise, posing a potential threat to towns nearby. Peru is among the most affected by global warming, according to the country's Environment Ministry.
