Action Plan for Colombia
Scaling the use of research outputs to support the low
emissions development (LED) strategies in agriculture

Actor’s engagement
MADS -Incorporation of the
research outputs on the
PIGCCS agriculture. NDC
updating process and the
gaps of development
IDEAM -Use of research’s
outputs of nitrogen fertilizers
activity data in the National
GHG inventory - Next steps
and researches needed to
fully impact the AFOLU
categories.
Training - Progress of the
associations in measure and
implementation of efficient use
of nitrogen fertilizers - Needs
and next steps of
implementation of efficient use
of nitrogen fertilizers
FEDECACAO - Scope of the
study and Fedecacao targets
- Recalculation of potentials to
include in NDC update
FEDECADETEROS -
Progress on mitigation of
GHG of coffee sector - Needs
and next steps of
implementation of efficient use
of nitrogen fertilizers
FEDEARROZ - Progress on
mitigation of GHG of rice
sector - Needs and next steps
of implementation of efficient
use of nitrogen fertilizers

Results
Improvement of activity
data of nitrogen organic
fertilizers on agricultural
systems
Assessing in situ the
emission factor of the
use of crop residues and
biological inhibition of
nitrification
Generate an accord to
assure the report of
information in category
3C3, 3C4 and 3C5
Identify the information
and the forms to report
information to ICA
Exploring institutional
arrangements with
fertilizer sales
companies
Develop a MRV pilot for
reductions of the
renovation/ rehabilitation
of cocoa plantations in
prioritized regions/sites
Restructuring Coffee
NAMA
Developing a base line
of cocoa new areas for
zero deforestation
accords
Building capacity in low
carbon production of
sugar cane, cocoa and
other crops

EC-LEDS studies impact on Colombian
climate policies
The NDC updating process consist in assessing the
mitigation actions of the PIGCCS

Interactions of 2020 action plan

2020 action plan
• Outcome 1. Improvement the GHG
inventories in Colombia - 2. Contribution
to NDC implementation 3.
Implementation of national and
subnational LED strategy (PIGCCS Ag)
• Next users: Ministries, IDEAM,
producers associations
• Output
• Who develops the output
• Activities
• Focus areas (Improvements,
Capacity building, Integration to
LEDs policies)
• Timeline (12 months)
• Estimate cost USD (240.697 USD)

2020 action plan: pathway for EC-LEDS
results achieving impact in Colombia
EC-LEDS aims 2020 action plan
Test tools and approaches for implementing priority
agriculture and low emission development
initiatives.
Output 2.1 Development a monitoring, reporting and
verification pilot of GHG reductions for renovation /
rehabilitation of cocoa plantations in prioritized regions/sites
Output 2.2 Restructuring the Coffee NAMA
Output 2.3 Developing a base line of cocoa new areas for
zero deforestation accords
National and subnational actors would greatly
benefit from sharing lessons on their experience
and working with other actors to improve evidence-
based approaches to tackle challenges of low
emission development in agriculture.
Output 1.2 Institutional arrangements
Output 3.1 Building capacity in low carbon production of
sugar cane
Output 3.2 Building capacity in low carbon production of
cocoa
Output 3.3 Building capacity in low carbon production of other
crops
Engagement with key stakeholders to assess how
tools/approaches apply elsewhere, customization
needed, and how to achieve LED outcomes.
Output 1.2 Institutional arrangements
Output 2.1 Development of a monitoring, reporting and
verification pilot of the GHG reductions of the renovation /
rehabilitation of cocoa plantations in prioritized regions/sites
Inform decision makers and technical experts on
how to implement priority LED options in line with
science-based standards and evidences.
Output 1.1 Information improvement of use of fertilizers
Output 2.1 Development of a monitoring, reporting and
verification pilot of the GHG reductions of the renovation /
rehabilitation of cocoa plantations in prioritized regions/sites
