“Our project will continue to support Colombia's green finance agenda and the implementation and applicability of the country's Green Taxonomy through different instruments. Through these initiatives, we expect to see impactful market growth.”
- Leisa Souza, Head of Latin America, Climate Bonds Initiative
This project is supporting the mobilisation of financial resources for environmental agenda objectives. In the first phase, it supported the development and implementation of Colombia’s GreenTaxonomy, and provided technical assistance to the analysis and structuring of a Sovereign Fund for Climate Change and Sustainable Development. In this way, the project has provided clarity to the financial market on what activities can be considered green or sustainable climate investments.
In the new project phase, the Taxonomy implementation is expected to become integrated in the financial market. This will help promote sustainable finance, which underpins emissions reductions goals.
UK PACT (Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions) is a unique capacity-building programme. Jointly governed and funded by the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) through the UK's International Climate Finance, it works in partnership with countries with high emissions reduction potential to support them to implement and increase their ambitions for tackling climate change.
