Name Description Objectives The update of the NDC was developed and communicated in accordance with the principles of transparency and other guidelines established by the Book of Rules of the Paris Agreement, using the information presented by the country in its third National Communication (2017), its second BUR (2018) and its second NREF (2020), and presents improvements in some specific subsectors at the level of estimation of GEL emissions and removals. In the updating process, Colombia has as a reference the reinforced transparency framework (ETF), established under the Paris Agreement in its article 13, to promote transparency and mutual trust. This is reflected in a series of guiding principles that have guided the updating process in methodological terms and in decision-making. As a result of the process, the NDC of Colombia has a component associated with adaptation to climate change and another related to GHG mitigation. Regarding the GHG mitigation component, Colombia&#39;s updated goal is based on a long-term vision established by the aspiration towards carbon neutrality expressed by the country at the United Nations Climate Action Summit in September 2019, and which will be reflected in the E2050 Long-Term Strategy, a medium-term vision to 2030 that is established through the Adapted and Resilient Colombian Low-Carbon Development Strategy and the Comprehensive Strategy for Deforestation Control and Forest Management, and a short-term vision through the National Development Plan. Colombia&#39;s mitigation goal is established based on the projection and analysis of its reference scenario (trend growth of emissions in the absence of implementation of GHG mitigation actions) and the analysis and modeling of policy scenarios and reduction measures. of GHG emissions to reach the goal. Following the guiding principles of using the best information available and seeking non-regression and the progression of the ambition, Colombia establishes its mitigation commitment, in terms of the maximum absolute emissions of the country in the year 2030 (absolute goal of emissions for a single year) as described below: MtCO2 NDC 360 340 335 MCO 320 300 280 260 240 2015, 220 200 280 267 MIC02 (20%) 260 235 MICO2 (30%) 240 220 235 MICO2 (30%) 200 18 0 160 Figure 3.3.
