Colombia-UK PACT

UK PACT is partnering with Colombia, a country with a strong commitment to international and domestic action on climate change and sustainable growth.

Colombia and the UK are close allies in addressing climate change. Through the “Partnership for Sustainable Growth”, the two countries are working together to accelerate emissions reductions and drive climate action in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement. Both countries came forward with ambitious commitments at COP26 and will continue to work closely in the coming years to make these commitments a reality.

The Colombia-UK PACT programme has funded over 34 projects to date as well as over 30 complementary expert deployments, which are already delivering real world change to support sustainable growth and emissions reductions. In Colombia, the programme is focused on supporting a Just Rural Transition, a Just Energy Transition and Green Finance as means to supporting climate action.
