Adaptation Pillars Water security and watershed management Agricultural climate resilience (crop varieties, early warning) Urban infrastructure resilience Coastal and marine ecosystem protection Health sector climate preparedness Cleantech Taxonomy Mapping Of the 71 Cleantech Taxonomy nodes, 52 are aligned (Y), 9 are partially aligned, and 10 are not aligned with NDC 2030 targets. The strongest alignment is in energy systems (13/15 nodes) and AFOLU (8/10 nodes). SISCLIMA — Sistema Nacional de Cambio Climático Framework Overview Field Value Framework SISCLIMA — Sistema Nacional de Cambio Climático Country Colombia Legal Basis Decreto 298 de 2016; Ley 1931 de 2018 Governing Body Comisión Intersectorial de Cambio Climático (CICC) Regional Structure 9 Nodos Regionales de Cambio Climático Taxonomy Column col_sisclima_relevant System Structure SISCLIMA is Colombia's institutional coordination framework for climate change. It is NOT a set of targets but an governance architecture that coordinates actions across sectors and regions. National Level CICC: Inter-sectoral commission chaired by MADS, with MinEnergía, MinTransporte, MinAgricultura, MinVivienda, MinComercio, DNP Technical Committee: Advises CICC on climate science and MRV Financial Committee: Coordinates climate finance (Finanzas del Clima platform at DNP) Information Committee: Manages IDEAM climate data systems Sectoral PIGCCs Each ministry develops a Plan Integral de Gestión del Cambio Climático Sectorial (PIGCCS): Mining & Energy (MinEnergía) Transport (MinTransporte) Agriculture (MinAgricultura) Commerce & Industry (MinComercio) Housing & Territory (MinVivienda) Health (MinSalud) Environment (MADS — cross-cutting) Regional Nodes (9) Each node coordinates departmental and municipal climate actions, promotes PIGCCTs (territorial plans), and supports REDD+ and adaptation projects. Cleantech Taxonomy Mapping Of the 71 nodes, 47 are relevant (Y), 14 are partially relevant, and 10 are not relevant. SISCLIMA relevance indicates whether a taxonomy category falls under at least one sectoral PIGCC or regional node mandate. CONPES 4075 — Política de Transición Energética Framework Overview Field Value Framework CONPES 4075 — Política de Transición Energética Country Colombia Approved 29 March 2022 Lead DNP + MinEnergía + MinComercio + MinTransporte + MinAmbiente + MinCiencias Focus Energy sector transition — efficiency, renewables, hydrogen, coverage, digitalization Taxonomy Column col_conpes4075 Four Strategic Axes Energy Security: Diversify the energy matrix; reduce dependence on hydro (climate-vulnerable); expand FNCE/FNCER capacity Knowledge & Innovation: Close human capital gaps; develop qualifications for energy transition; R&D in new energy technologies Competitiveness & Economic Development: Position Colombia as a clean energy exporter; green hydrogen hub (La Guajira); attract foreign investment Low-GHG Energy System: Reduce emissions from mining-energy sector; phase out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies; carbon pricing integration Action Lines Increase energy efficiency across all sectors Expand electricity coverage to underserved rural areas Deploy FNCER at scale (solar, wind, geothermal, biomass) Develop green and blue hydrogen value chain Digitalize the mining-energy sector Modal shift in transport to electric/efficient modes Structure incentives for clean technology adoption Cleantech Taxonomy Mapping Of the 71 nodes, 17 are aligned (Y), 17 are partially aligned, and 37 are not aligned. CONPES 4075 is narrowly focused on energy transition — it strongly maps to Energy Systems (EN) and Transport (TR) nodes, with partial coverage of Buildings (energy efficiency) and a few extensions (productive energy use, pico-solar). Ley 2169 de 2021 — Ley de Acción Climática Framework Overview Field Value Framework Ley 2169 de 2021 — Ley de Acción Climática Country Colombia Signed 22 December 2021 Headline Target Carbon neutrality by 2050; 51% GHG reduction by 2030 Sectors Mining-energy, Housing/territory, Agriculture/fishing/rural, Commerce/industry, Transport, Waste, Environment ETS Mandate Design emissions trading system by 2030 Taxonomy Column col_ley2169 Key Provisions Carbon Budget: Maximum 169.44 MtCO2eq national emissions by 2030 Sectoral Targets: Each of 7 economic sectors must develop binding mitigation and adaptation plans Carbon Tax: Progressive implementation reaching 100% by 2028 (amended by Ley 2722/2022) ETS: Mandates design of a national emissions trading system by 2030 MRV: Requires robust measurement, reporting, and verification systems Adaptation: Each sector must identify climate vulnerabilities and develop adaptation objectives Just Transition: Provisions for affected workers and communities in fossil fuel transition Sectoral Requirements Ley 2169 requires each sector to develop: GHG mitigation trajectories to 2030 and 2050 Sector-specific adaptation plans MRV systems for emission tracking Annual progress reports to Congress Cleantech Taxonomy Mapping Of the 71 nodes, 49 are aligned (Y), 14 are partially aligned, and 8 are not aligned. Ley 2169 has the broadest coverage of any single framework because it is economy-wide and covers both mitigation and adaptation. Ley 2099 de 2021 — Ley de Transición Energética Framework Overview Field Value Framework Ley 2099 de 2021 — Ley de Transición Energética Country Colombia Signed 10 July 2021 Amends Ley 1715 de 2014 (FNCE promotion) Tax Incentives 30-year validity from July 2021 Hydrogen Green H2 = FNCER; Blue H2 = FNCE Taxonomy Column col_energy_transition Key Provisions FNCE/FNCER Expansion: Extends and strengthens incentives from Ley 1715/2014; 50% income tax deduction for renewable investments Hydrogen Economy: Classifies green hydrogen (from FNCER) and blue hydrogen (fossil + CCUS) as eligible energy sources with full incentive access Energy Communities: Establishes legal framework for community energy projects (formalized by Ley 2294/2023) Rural Coverage: Mandates initiatives to close electricity coverage gaps in rural areas using FNCE EV Infrastructure: Provisions for electric vehicle charging networks and EV incentives Energy Auctions: Long-term renewable energy auctions (15-20 year PPAs); Reliability Charge mechanism favoring renewables Just Transition: Provisions for mining-energy sector workers and communities Renewable Energy Targets FNCER share in electricity matrix: from <1% (2018) to 12%+ (2022) to ongoing growth Solar: 2 GW installed by end 2024; 13.5 GW approved pipeline (2025-2033) Wind: 2.8 GW approved onshore; La Guajira potential of 25 GW onshore + 45 GW solar Offshore wind: 1 GW by 2030, 9 GW by 2050 (ambitious scenario) Cleantech Taxonomy Mapping Of the 71 nodes, 17 are aligned (Y), 11 are partially aligned, and 43 are not aligned. Ley 2099 is narrowly focused on energy — it maps strongly to all renewable energy nodes (solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, biomass, batteries, grids, hydrogen, EV charging) plus productive energy use for rural communities. COP16 Cali — Biodiversity Commitments (October 2024) Framework Overview Field Value Framework COP16 Cali — Biodiversity (Kunming-Montreal GBF Implementation) Host Colombia (Cali, October 21 - November 1, 2024) Parent Framework Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF, adopted COP15 2022) Key Target 30x30 — 30% land and sea protected by 2030 National Instrument NBSAP (National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan) Taxonomy Column col_cop16_biodiversity Colombia's Biodiversity Context Colombia is the world's second most biodiverse country, hosting approximately 10% of global biodiversity. As COP16 host, Colombia made elevated commitments to biodiversity protection integrated with its climate agenda. Key COP16 Outcomes 30x30: Countries committed to protecting 30% of land and 30% of oceans by 2030; Colombia's SINAP (protected areas system) to expand accordingly Indigenous & Local Communities: Expanded role in biodiversity governance — critical for Colombia's PDET territories and ethnic community conservation Digital Sequence Information (DSI): Agreement on benefit-sharing mechanism for genetic resource data — affects bioeconomy and bioprospecting NBSAPs: Countries required to submit national biodiversity strategies showing GBF target implementation Finance: Calls for USD 200 billion/year in biodiversity finance by 2030; harmful subsidies reform Colombia-Specific Relevance Deforestation-Biodiversity Nexus: Amazon and Chocó deforestation directly threatens biodiversity; linked to EUDR commodity supply chains PES & BanCO2: Payments for ecosystem services programs connect climate and biodiversity finance Marine & Coastal: Pacific and Caribbean mangrove restoration, blue carbon, coral reef protection Silvopastoral & Agroforestry: Biodiversity-compatible agriculture central to Colombian NBSAP Cleantech Taxonomy Mapping Of the 71 nodes, 12 are aligned (Y), 8 are partially aligned, and 51 are not aligned. COP16 alignment concentrates in AFOLU nodes (land, forests, oceans, livestock), NbS extensions (reforestation, mangroves, silvopastoral, PES, bioeconomy), and monitoring tech (remote sensing, earth observation). Colombian Regulatory Crosswalk Summary Overview This page summarizes how 6 Colombian regulatory frameworks map to the 71 Cleantech Taxonomy nodes. Each framework column in the taxonomy indicates whether a given cleantech category is aligned (Y), partially aligned (partial), or not aligned (N) with that framework's scope. Framework Coverage Matrix Framework Column Y Partial N Scope NDC 2030 col_ndc2030_aligned 52 9 10 Economy-wide climate targets SISCLIMA col_sisclima_relevant 47 14 10 Institutional coordination CONPES 4075 col_conpes4075 17 17 37 Energy transition only Ley 2169 col_ley2169 49 14 8 Climate action (broadest) Ley 2099 col_energy_transition 17 11 43 Energy transition only COP16 Cali col_cop16_biodiversity 12 8 51 Biodiversity only Key Observations Broadest coverage: NDC 2030 and Ley 2169 cover 85-90% of taxonomy nodes — they are economy-wide frameworks. Narrowest coverage: COP16 Cali (17%) and CONPES 4075/Ley 2099 (24% each) — these are domain-specific. Energy nodes: All 6 frameworks touch energy (EN sector) — the strongest cross-framework convergence. AFOLU nodes: Strong alignment with NDC, SISCLIMA, Ley 2169, and COP16 — but weak in energy transition frameworks. Gap areas: Alternative meat/dairy (CT-AF-009/010), nuclear (CT-EN-003), aircraft (CT-TR-005), textiles (CT-WA-003) align with zero or one framework. How to Use Query the Cleantech Taxonomy via BookStack API to find nodes aligned with specific frameworks: GET /api/search?query=[col_ndc2030_aligned=Y] [col_cop16_biodiversity=Y] This returns all nodes that align with BOTH the NDC 2030 AND COP16 biodiversity commitments — useful for identifying climate-biodiversity co-benefit opportunities.
