UK PACT has partnered with Colombia, a country with a strong commitment to international and domestic action on climate change and sustainable growth.
Colombia has demonstrated regional leadership in tackling climate change and encouraging sustainable growth. This shared vision has resulted in a history of successful and mutually-beneficial collaboration, cemented through the ‘UK-Colombia Partnership for Sustainable Growth’. This Partnership demonstrates the UK government’s desire to work closely with Colombian counterparts on accelerating domestic action on climate change and raising global climate ambition. This commitment to long-term support has positioned the UK as a key ally, with the Colombian government naming 2021 as the ‘year of UK and Colombia’.
In the first round of funding, Colombia-UK PACT funded thirteen projects and three skill-shares. Following a successful round of implementation of the first phase of Colombia-UK PACT, projects in four key areas with potential for transformational GHG emission reductions will be selected in 2020: green finance, sustainable mobility, energy and sustainable livelihoods.
The second Colombia-UK PACT funding round closed in August 2020.
