Colombia: Integration of ecosystems and adaptation to climate change in the Colombian Massif

This programme will strengthen the coordination and integration of environmental issues within the national development agenda, with an emphasis on reducing vulnerability due to environmental degradation and climate change in the poorest and most affected sectors and groups.

At the national level it will impact on the political frameworks prioritized by the Country and the UNDAF: the national poverty eradication strategy, the national strategy for integrated water resources management and the Comprehensive National Climate Change Action Plan. At the regional level it will work on the strategic ecological region of the Colombian Massif to ensure the conservation and provision of environmental goods and services, alleviation of the effects of environmental deterioration and adaptation to climate change. This programme was drawn up with the Ministry of the Environment, Housing and Territorial Development (MAVDT), the Institute of Environmental Studies (IDEAM) and UNS agencies with knowledge of the region.
