The Integrated Strategy for Deforestation Control and Forest Management (EICD in Spanish) aims to create a more sustainable and resilient forest management system, focusing on both prevention and restoration to protect Colombia's rich biodiversity and combat climate change. Some key elements of the strategy includes:
- Deforestation Reduction Goals: The EICD aims to significantly reduce deforestation, with a target to reduce deforestation rates by 50% by 2025 and achieve zero deforestation by 2030, aligning with the country’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC).
- Land use planning, including enforcement against illegal activities
- Financing and Incentives, such as Payment for Environmental Services
- Monitoring and Early Warning Systems to track deforestation in real-time.
