Alignment to Advance Climate-Resilient Development | Country Case Study: Colombia

The document highlights Colombia's progress in aligning its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process, and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) strategy. It notes that these policy processes reference one another to provide coherent adaptation messaging and suggests further alignment through improved information-sharing tools, sub-national capacity building, and enhanced monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems.

• Colombia has achieved significant progress in aligning its NDC, NAP process, and SDG implementation strategy, with policy documents identifying specific synergies and links to ensure coherent national adaptation messaging.
• Colombia can further its strategic alignment by utilizing existing institutional coordination mechanisms that involve a consistent group of stakeholders across the three policy processes.
• Key entry points for strengthening alignment include creating information-sharing tools, increasing capacities at local and sub-national levels to make alignment actionable, and improving the articulation of adaptation tracking, monitoring, and evaluation (M&E).
