Promoting green growth in Colombia - A post-conflict opportunity?

The document argues that Colombia can leverage its post-conflict stability to accelerate green growth by linking renewable energy incentives to development programmes, scaling private sector green production models, and integrating local green strategies into national policy. It highlights the need for the private sector to finance 63 percent of climate commitments and warns of risks associated with heavy hydropower reliance and transport sector pollution.

• The Colombian government could accelerate renewable energy adoption by connecting the financial and tax incentives established in the 2014 Law 1715 with development programmes designed for post-conflict areas, providing stable electricity and a new energy model.
• The Colombian government expects the private sector to provide 63 percent of the funding for the country's climate commitments, necessitating the replication of successful green production models and the use of targeted tax and subsidy arrangements as suggested by the OECD in 2014.
