Education Campaign for Public Servants, Students Advances Climate Action in Colombia

WRI Colombia implemented a capacity-building and education initiative to help local government officials and teachers integrate the national long-term climate strategy (E2050) into subnational development plans and school curricula.

• WRI Colombia conducted workshops across five regions to enable local policymakers and public servants to incorporate the E2050 long-term climate strategy, which aims for net-zero emissions by 2050, into subnational development plans for the 2024-2028 period.
• To support inclusive climate education, WRI Colombia developed a toolkit for teachers featuring a climate journal, an infographic, two games, and a storybook on carbon neutrality, with materials provided in Indigenous languages and braille. This included the launch of the first climate-focused braille storybook at Colombia’s International Book Festival.
• The initiative resulted in over 100 public servants from governorships and mayors' offices integrating E2050 priorities into local development plans for 2024-2028, and 299 educators from rural and underfunded public schools adopting interactive materials, providing climate education to more than 4,800 students.
