If, as predicted, temperatures in Colombia rise by 2.14°C by the end of the century, it’s those in rural areas who are most likely to be affected by climate change.
Climate change is a challenge in every country – and the past G20 summit shows that even amongst world leaders, there is not a lot of consensus about what to do. And although Colombia generates only a small percentage of total global greenhouse gases, climate change is likely to hit this bio-diverse country hard.
As the UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) put it, “Colombia is at high risk from climate change impacts.”
