    Colombia has committed to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2030, with the possibility of an additional 10% cut with international support. As the largest coal producer in Latin America, transitioning away from fossil fuels will be costly for Colombia but is necessary to mitigate climate change impacts. While Colombia is responsible for only 0.4% of global emissions, its emission reduction targets are ambitious compared to other Latin American countries. Agricultural activities are currently the highest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions in Colombia, which have risen over the past two decades due to increased livestock and fertilizer use. Most of Colombia's population lives in areas highly vulnerable to climate change such as the Andes mountains and coastal regions.

    Colombia-ECOFIN

    Colombia has commi ed to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2030, while
    another 10% cut could be achieved with interna onal support. According to the ministry
    Colombia, we as a country whose reliance toward fossil fuel is s ll strong, par cularly
    coal, and as the largest coal producer in La n America and the 10th largest in the world,
    the cost we have to prepare is high, but Colombia also realized that the incurred cost for
    switching the non-green fuel to the environmentally friendly energy or green energy is
    equitable and necessary especially to reduce the e ect of global war.

    Although Colombia represents only around 0.4% of global emissions, NDC is one of the
    most ambi ous in the La n America and Caribbean region and is much more closely
    aligned with the country's objec ve of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.

    In Colombia, GHG emissions have increased in the past two decades. Agriculture,
    silviculture and other related land uses are the highest contributors to GHG emissions,
    which are caused mainly by an increase of livestock and the use of fer lizers.

    Colombia is at high risk from climate change impacts. The majority of the
    population lives in the elevated Andes, where water shortages and land
    instability are already a reality, and on the coast, where the increase in sea level
    and oods can a ect key human settlements and economic activities we expect
    help from France,New Zealand and Denmark.Denmark was ranked as the
    country with the highest achievement in climate protection, followed by Sweden.
    Sweden has established a goal to reach net-zero emissions by 2045
