COLOMBIA KEY OBSERVED & ANTICIPATED CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS

The document describes Colombia's National Adaptation Plan (NAP) as a dynamic process rather than a static document, designed to integrate climate risk management into sectoral and regional planning. It identifies priority sectors for adaptation, including health, housing, industry, finance, agriculture, mines and energy, and transportation, while tracking milestones from 2011 to 2018, such as the approval of the Climate Change Law and the submission of the NAP document to the UNFCCC.

• Colombia's National Adaptation Plan (NAP) is characterized as a dynamic process and instrument for establishing strategic guidelines and tools to prioritize adaptation actions and reduce vulnerability across various sectors and territories.
• The NAP process identifies specific climate impacts—including changes in precipitation, floods, increased sea level, droughts, heatwaves, snow ablation, and a greater incidence of vectors and new diseases—that affect priority sectors such as Health and Social Protection, Housing, Industry and Commerce, Finance, Agriculture and Rural Development, Mines and Energy, and Transportation.
• Key milestones in Colombia's climate policy between 2011 and 2018 include the 2011 Conpes 3700, the National Climate Change Policy, the establishment of the SISCLIMA system via Decree 298, the approval of the Climate Change Law by the Colombian Congress, and the submission of the NAP document to the UNFCCC.
