Reporte Local Voluntario 2022 Objetivos de desarrollo sostenible Pereira (Risaralda, Colombia)

The 2022 Voluntary Local Review for Pereira, Colombia, documents the city's efforts to align its Municipal Development Plan (PDM) 2020-2023 with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The report focuses on four priority goals: Quality Education (SDG 4), Gender Equality (SDG 5), Life on Land (SDG 15), and Partnerships for the Goals (SDG 17). It highlights the use of the 'Pereira Territorio Sostenible' platform for monitoring and identifies key challenges, such as the lack of reliable local data and legal limitations on municipal authority over environmental conservation, which is primarily managed by the regional authority CARDER.

• The municipality of Pereira has integrated the SDGs into its Municipal Development Plan (PDM) 2020-2023, which is organized into three strategic axes: 'Smart City', 'Modern City', and 'City for the People'.
• A mapping of 20 municipal public policies revealed 102 interactions with the SDGs, with SDG 3 (Health and Well-being), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions) being the most frequent.
• In 2021, the PDM's budget and program distribution showed that SDG 3 (Health and Well-being) and SDG 4 (Quality Education) were the most predominant in terms of both the number of programs and executed investment.
• To improve education quality and access, Pereira has implemented initiatives such as the 'Círculo virtuoso' project, which benefited over 8,900 people by 2020, and the 'La U en tu colegio' program for double certification.
• Regarding gender equality, the city established the 'Política Pública de Diversidad Sexual' in 2021 and the 'Comisión Legal para la Equidad de la Mujer' in 2020 to combat discrimination and violence.
• Pereira faces a significant legal constraint in environmental management because, under Law 99 of 1993, municipalities with fewer than one million inhabitants cannot act as environmental authorities, leaving biodiversity and ecosystem conservation to the Corporación Autónoma Regional de Risaralda (CARDER).
• The city is implementing the REDD+ project in the Otún River basin to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation, aiming to reduce 445,952 tCO2e between 2015 and 2045 across 5,602.74 hectares of forest.
• The 'Pereira Territorio Sostenible' platform, developed through a collaboration between SEI, IISD, and Pereira Cómo Vamos, is one of the first efforts to monitor and report the city's local contribution to the SDGs.
• The city has expanded its international cooperation by joining the Mercociudades network in 2020 and establishing a South-South cooperation project with Vietnam focused on community tourism.
