Pyongyang, November 7 (KCNA) -- 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 on November 3.

Humala said Latin American countries are affected by climate change seriously.

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.
