ÉTUDE DE CAS NATIONALE : La Colombie

The document analyzes the institutional mechanisms and policy frameworks Colombia uses to integrate climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction, and sustainable development goals. It identifies significant synergies between the National Adaptation Plan (NAP), Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC), and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) strategy, while highlighting the need for formal coordination mechanisms between key national commissions to avoid duplication and improve subnational implementation.

• Colombia has made significant progress in aligning its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process, and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) strategy, creating consistent government messaging on adaptation.
• The National Planning Department (DNP) serves as a central institutional hub, coordinating the National Development Plan, the NAP, the NDC, and the National Disaster Risk Management System (SNGRD).
• Colombia's NDC adaptation goals are directly based on the progress of the NAP, which began in 2011, and include protecting 36 mountain summit ecosystems and creating a National Adaptation Indicator System.
• The National Development Plan 2018–2022 integrates the 17 SDGs as entry points for its formulation, requiring all included policies and sectors to develop quantifiable indicators to contribute to these goals.
• There is a recognized complementarity between disaster risk management and climate change adaptation, with the NAP stating that both must be implemented in parallel to integrate climate variations into development planning.
• Despite existing synergies, Colombia lacks formal coordination mechanisms between the National Climate Change Response System (SISCLIMA) and the High-Level Commission for the SDGs, as well as between the SNGRD and the NAP process.
• The document identifies the 'regional climate change nodes' as a key mechanism for vertical coordination, moving away from top-down approaches by empowering subnational governments.
