Colombia's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Colombia's carbon emissions totalled approximately 313,580 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 50,630 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 381,210 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This represents a decrease from 2023, where emissions were about 350,780 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 80,900 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 443,520 kg CO2e for Scope 3. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions in 2023 included significant contributions from purchased goods and services (approximately 272,380 kg CO2e) and business travel (about 61,640 kg CO2e). Despite these figures, there are currently no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from Colombia, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. The absence of specific reduction initiatives suggests that while emissions data is available, strategic plans for significant reductions may still be in development.
