Manizales, Colombia 22 May 2021 – UN-Habitat, in partnership with the University of Michigan is supporting the Colombian city of Manizales to mainstream biodiversity solutions into its planning on combating climate change. 

The analysis was carried out with UN-Habitat in consultation with the Colombian Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development and the Ministry of Housing, City and Territory. It used the Law and Climate Change Toolkit, an online, open database grading system developed by UNFCC, UNEP, and the Commonwealth Secretariat, to help countries build legal frameworks for effective domestic implementation of the Paris Agreement and their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

The local component of this assessment ensures that Manizales’ urban planning and policy framework includes nature-based solutions to climate change. A review of evidence-based approaches to biodiversity in cities informs an analysis of climate hazards and risks in Manizales, which identifies priority areas for intervention.
