it is also responsibility of the environmental local authorities (CARs), territorial entities (regional and local government), civil society and sectors

Territories had started to develop their

own vulnerability assessment as their adaptation plans such as Cartagena and Archipielago Rosario & San Bernardo, Huila department, Bogota region and Cundinamarca department, Monteria, Risaralda, Nariño, San Andres & Providencia, Coffee Region, Orinoquía and the Amazon Region.

Lessons learned

• From the national level is fundamental to generate information (technical outputs) in order to facilitate decision-making in the regions

• Each region has their own complexities and needs that governments should take into account

• Bottom-up process that national government should support • There is an important need to develop an education and communication

strategy • Strong vertical alignment involved trust and transparency • Capacity building at the national, regional and local level • Barriers to remove: local investment gaps, public-private collaboration, policy

integration, finance mechanism • Interinstitutional arrangement alt national and subnational levels • Learning by doing
