3 Context 1.Colombia is located in the north-west corner of South America 2.Colombia's total area is 2,070,408 km2 (1,141,748 km2 of mainland and 926,660 km2 of territorial waters) 3.Colombia s population is aprox. 48 million people. 4.Recently, there is an increased risk of climate change impacts due to anthropogenic activities (economy, ecosystem, territories)

Emissions per capita are roughly 4.15 tons of CO2e, well below the region s average of 8 tons of CO2e per capita the government has set 4 pillars for the country s Climate Change agenda:

5 Climate Change Pilllars The REDD+ National Strategy ENREDD+ ECDBC The Colombian Low Carbon Development Strategy The Strategy for financial protection against natural disasters EPFD PNACC The National Adaptation Plan for Climate Change

6 Climate Change Pilllars CONPES /07/2011 INSTITUTIONAL STRATEGY AND POLICY JOINT ACTIONS ON CLIMATE CHANGE IN COLOMBIA Suggest a coordination framework through which sectors, territories and communities to understand climate change Promote joint institutions Propose an appropriate framework for coordination of actions prioritized by the NDP Proposed the creation of the National Climate Change System SISCLIMA * CONPES: National Council for Economic and Social Policy
