Colombia

Define the general vision for Colombia’s energy transition policy and set out practical actions needed to reconcile the affordable and secure energy growth required to support Colombia’s economic development with its net zero emissions target.

Ensure consistency in policies, targets and ambitions contained in the various laws, decrees, plans and sectoral policy plans for energy and climate change, and track progress of the milestones in Colombia’s energy transition.

Set out a medium- to long-term energy security road map, defining specific actions for securing oil, gas, electricity and the critical minerals needed for the country’s energy transition.

Develop a people-centred transition strategy together with Colombia’s territories and industry, building on existing initiatives. This would include social guidelines; retraining programmes; and supporting access to energy, employment and economic development opportunities arising from clean energy deployment at the local level.

Improve engagement and co-operation among national, regional and territorial government departments and the private sector to ensure that local communities receive tangible economic and social benefits from the expansion of essential energy-related projects in their locations.
