During the break: Colombia’s Integrated Strategy to Control Deforestation and Manage Forests: Achievements and challenges in a post-conflict context
Colombia is home to some of the most biodiverse forests in the world, forests that now are under tremendous pressure in the new post-conflict context. The Peace Agreement with the former FARC guerilla is under implementation and criminal groups are moving into territories where the guerilla used to have territorial control and where they for different reasons had enforced strict limits on logging by civilians. Taking advantage of the power vacuum left behind, these new actors are promoting land grabbing, coca cultivation crops, mining and logging and cattle ranching. In the Colombian Amazon, the area of deforestation doubled in 2017 compared to the year before, according to official figures released this month – and most of the destruction was in remote rainforest areas once controlled by the guerilla.
Colombia has recently developed an Integrated Strategy to Control Deforestation and Manage Forest which gathers diverse stakeholders ranging from the armed forces, the chief prosecutor’s office, environmental and agricultural authorities, private sector & civil society. This complex multidisciplinary and –actor approach aims to reduce deforestation and to provide incentives for sustainable use of the forest ecosystems of Colombia.
This side event showcases the early implementation efforts of the strategy in terms of REDD+ Results Based Payment mechanisms, law enforcement, and zero deforestation productive chains.
