Colombia has positioned forests as a central pillar of its climate strategy. This commitment is reflected in key policy instruments such as the National Strategy for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (ENREDD+), the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), the Climate Action Law, and the national reports submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
