Measures related to ecosystem services/biodiversity/land use and agriculture

Part of Policy Document 4023 “Policy for economic reactivation, and sustainable and inclusive growth: New commitment for the future of Colombia”
Promote BIO production projects with regional linkages, involving the private sector, in sectors such as energy, health, chemicals, food, agriculture and tourism.
Colombia is one of the earth’s biodiversity champions, ranking 2nd in the world thanks to its biological richness based is a wide variety of ecosystems, like tropical forests, paramos, mountain habitats in the Andes, grasslands, and islands. However, thus far its natural capital has not been used as a competitive advantage to generate jobs and opportunities for sustainable economic growth in vulnerable regions of the country.
Aiming to generate mechanisms to leverage regional and interregional projects in Bioeconomy, through different sources of financing, this measure will increase regional budgets and promote new income sources for territories with high biodiversity but high poverty rates at the same time. It will contribute to the sustainable use of this biodiversity, alleviate environmental degradation, and will contribute to climate change mitigation using innovative eco-friendly products.
