Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Nationally Determined Contributions Colombia

This case study examines Colombia's integration of Short-Lived Climate Pollutant (SLCP) targets into its 2020 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC), highlighting the role of a collaborative National SLCP Strategy in achieving these goals.

• Colombia's 2020 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) include an ambitious target to reduce black carbon emissions by 40% by 2030 relative to 2014 levels, addressing climate change, air pollution, and public health.
• The inclusion of SLCP targets in the NDC was enabled by the prior development of a National SLCP Strategy. This four-year collaborative process involved the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development working with NGOs, civil society, and major emitting sectors to build consensus and identify necessary capacity-building, particularly for assessing and reducing black carbon.
