Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Nationally Determined Contributions Colombia

Colombia's 2020 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) include an ambitious target to reduce black carbon emissions by 40% by 2030 relative to 2014 levels. This was achieved by developing a National SLCP Strategy prior to the NDC, involving a four-year collaborative process between the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development and stakeholders across various emitting sectors to build consensus and identify capacity-building needs.

• Colombia's 2020 NDC sets a specific and ambitious target to reduce black carbon emissions by 40% by 2030 compared to 2014 levels, addressing climate change, air pollution, and public health.
• The inclusion of SLCP targets in the NDC was enabled by the prior creation of a National SLCP Strategy, developed over four years by the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development in collaboration with civil society, NGOs, and major emitting sectors.
• The collaborative development process allowed the Ministry of Environment to secure consensus for targets and identify necessary capacity-building, particularly for the assessment and reduction of black carbon emissions.
