## Sectoral Mitigation Targets

Colombia's NDC distributes mitigation across all major economic sectors, with AFOLU dominating due to deforestation reduction potential:

- **AFOLU (59% of mitigation):** Reduce deforestation to 37,500-50,000 ha/yr by 2035; transition 150,000 ha cocoa and 936,500 ha coffee to agroforestry by 2030; restore 69,000 ha via livestock intensification. Total: ~67 MtCO2e.
- **Waste (14%):** 20.7 MtCO2e by 2030 — methane capture, circular economy (ENEC 2019), wastewater methane valorization.
- **Industry (8.9 MtCO2e):** Cement emissions intensity -7.5% by 2030; PAI PROURE 2022-2030 energy efficiency; carbon tax reaches 100% from 2028.
- **Transport (6.7 MtCO2e):** 600,000 EVs by 2030; 100% ZEV bus sales by 2035; 100% zero-emission new cars/vans by 2040.
- **Energy:** Peak emissions by 2029; 70% renewable electricity (achieved 2024); coal phase-out for power by 2036; halt new oil/gas exploration.
- **Buildings:** Net-zero new buildings by 2030; all buildings by 2050 (CONPES 3919).
- **Black Carbon:** -40% by 2030 vs 2014.

## 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).
