This fact sheet describes Colombia's participation in the Climate and Clean Air Coalition's (CCAC) Supporting National Action and Planning (SNAP) initiative to mitigate short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). Colombia used the LEAP-IBC tool to identify priority emitting sectors and is integrating SLCP mitigation into its National Air Quality Policy and National Climate Change Policy, with 15 of its 100 INDC measures resulting from the first phase of SNAP.

• Colombia utilized the SNAP initiative and the LEAP-IBC tool to identify priority emitting sectors and quantify emissions under different scenarios to determine priority actions. This process involved sourcing data from local, national, and international levels to avoid relying on guesswork for policies and plans.
• The Colombian government is integrating SLCP mitigation into its broader policy frameworks, specifically the National Air Quality Policy and the National Climate Change Policy. A new process to define a climate change strategy began in February 2016, and the air quality policy is scheduled for review in 2018 to include data developed through SNAP.
• Phase I of the SNAP initiative significantly influenced Colombia's Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC), with 15 of the 100 proposed measures resulting from this phase. To support these efforts, an SLCP unit was established within the Ministry, combining personnel from air quality and climate groups.
• Colombia is implementing specific SLCP reduction actions across several sectors: in agriculture, it is targeting rice paddy systems via intermittent wetting and drying, sugar cane processing biomass fuels, and manure management; other focus areas include landfills, brick production, transport, and cookstoves.
• The document highlights a significant public health driver for SLCP mitigation, noting that 30% of Colombia's rural population uses traditional wood-burning cookstoves, which emit black carbon and other particulates.
