Comprehensive Plan for Climate Change Management in the Agricultural Sector (PIGCCS-Agropecuario) in Colombia

The Strategy's primary objective is to strengthen the resilience of the Colombian agricultural sector in the face of climate change. It is structured around five strategic lines that include: the generation and use of agroclimatic information, the implementation of sustainable practices, the improvement of resilience to extreme weather events, the promotion of investments in low-carbon rural development, and inter-institutional coordination. These actions seek not only to minimize the sector's climate vulnerability, but also to improve food security and the sustainable development of rural communities. Within this strategy, the concept of climate-smart agriculture stands out, which focuses on agricultural practices that increase productivity in a sustainable way and contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The plan emphasizes the importance of techniques adapted to the Colombian context, such as silvopastoral systems and the establishment of climate-resistant crops.
