Promoviendo una implementación coherente de la dimensión ambiental de los ODS en Colombia

This report by the Stockholm Environment Institute and UNEP analyzes the synergies between SDG targets in Colombia and the department of Antioquia. Using a cross-impact matrix and network analysis, the study identifies 'catalytic' goals—those that most positively influence others—to inform the implementation of the National Development Plan (PND) 2018-2022. Key findings highlight that while national priorities focus on sustainable production and urban impact, regional priorities in Antioquia center on sustainable agriculture, demonstrating that SDG interactions are highly dependent on local contexts.

• At the national level, the most catalytic goal is target 8.4, which focuses on efficient production and consumption and decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation. This target positively influences at least eight other goals, including those related to agricultural resilience (2.4), water access (6.1), and terrestrial ecosystem use (15.1).
• The second most catalytic goal nationally is target 11.6, concerning the negative impact of cities. It is noted for its high impact on reducing marine pollution (14.1) and increasing the resilience of vulnerable communities (1.5).
• In the regional analysis for Antioquia, target 2.4 (sustainable food production systems and resilient agricultural practices) is the most influential goal. It strongly impacts the resilience of poor and vulnerable populations (1.5), water quality (6.3), and the reduction of chemical pollution (12.4).
• The regional analysis in Antioquia revealed more negative interactions than the national analysis. These primarily involve conflicts between energy production (7.2) and drinking water availability (6.1), as well as private sector development (8.3) and the quality of natural resources (15.1).
• The study identifies that the most impacted goals nationally are target 15.1 (conservation and restoration of forests) and target 1.5 (reducing disaster effects), meaning their progress is highly dependent on the actions taken toward other goals.
• The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to negatively affect the achievement of the 2030 Agenda in Colombia, potentially reversing poverty levels (SDG 1) to those of two decades ago and risking the employment of 15 million people.
