Alineación para avanzar en el desarrollo resiliente al clima

The document examines the institutional coordination and policy alignment in Colombia regarding climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction, and sustainable development goals. It highlights the central role of the Departamento Nacional de Planeación (DNP) and identifies synergies between the National Adaptation Plan (PNAD), Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC), and the Sendai Framework. The study proposes strengthening formal coordination between the National Climate Change System (SISCLIMA) and the High-Level Commission for the SDGs, as well as improving vertical integration between national and subnational governments.

• Colombia has made significant progress in aligning its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC), the National Adaptation Plan (PNAD) process, and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) implementation strategy, allowing the government to communicate consistent adaptation messages.
• The Departamento Nacional de Planeación (DNP) is the central institution for coordination, leading the National Development Plan and participating in the coordination of the PNAD, NDCs, and the National Disaster Risk Management System (SNGRD).
• The National Adaptation Plan (PNAD) and disaster risk management (DRM) are viewed as complementary strategies; the PNAD recognizes that climate change increases the complexity of emergency response and DRM.
• Colombia's NDC adaptation goals are based on the PNAD and are integrated into the SDG implementation strategy, specifically regarding SDG 13 (Climate Action).
• The National Development Plan 2018-2022 (Pacto por Colombia) serves as a primary alignment tool by requiring all policies and sectors to establish quantifiable indicators for the 17 SDGs and aligning with the NDC goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2030.
• There is a lack of formal coordination mechanisms between the National Climate Change System (SISCLIMA) and the High-Level Commission for the SDGs, despite both performing similar processes at national and subnational levels.
• Regional climate change nodes are identified as a key mechanism for vertical coordination, helping to move away from top-down approaches and empowering subnational governments.
