Colombia must expedite the growth of non-hydropower renewable energy sources to achieve its climate goals, according to an OECD review. The country aims for a 51% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030, up from a previous 20% target, and net-zero emissions by 2050.

Despite recent progress, Colombia's current mitigation strategies are deemed insufficient. The review highlights the need for increased investment in clean energy, as the country primarily relies on fossil fuels, and warns that structural barriers and policy misalignments hinder progress.
