This project conducted a comprehensive analysis of territorial planning in Colombia to identify potential improvements in land use and territorial policies from a sustainability perspective. At the end of its first year, the project presented a reform proposal—including administrative and legal measures—aimed at strengthening Colombia's territorial and environmental planning framework. The proposed recommendations focus on mitigating the impact of urban expansion and deforestation, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
"The National Development Plan prioritized territorial Planning, which was a great success. For this, it took the products developed by the project as inputs. This advance, in prioritizing territorial planning is very important to comply with the Paris agreement. It is important to continue working on the revision of the regulations and Law 388, emphasizing the maturation of projects and tools that develop them, the governance of the Regional Autonomous Corporations (CAR), and the pending complementary agenda of the territorial planning."
