Colombia is a country highly vulnerable to climate change emergencies and biodiversity loss. The 2023 report presented to the United Nations Climate Change Convention (UNCCC) indicates that 100% of the municipalities in the country have some type of risk associated with global warming.
Emergencies associated with natural phenomena have been increasing. The rise in wildfires, windstorms, floods, droughts, and surges not only causes more displacements, it also disproportionately affects communities internally displaced by armed conflict. These communities are often located in high-risk areas, such as informal urban settlements and remote rural areas.
