Proceses of political incidence and tools for scientific innovation strengthen institutional governance and are essential for the management of biodiversity and climate change. Colombian research institutes that are associated to the Sistema Nacional Ambiental (National Environmental System) play an important role in leading such processes.
The National Strategy for Plant Conservation considers strategic taxonomic groups for the implementation of conservation plans. Such plans derive into specific actions and have captured the attention of important parties to advance in conservation efforts for a great number of species and their habitats.
Colombia has advanced in implementing actions to accomplish the goals established in the Estrategia Nacional para la Conservación de Plantas (National Strategy for Plant Conservation), significantly adding to the global strategy for plant conservation.
By developing strategies of adaptation and mitigation, the resistance and resilience of ecosystems is favored. In this way, risks linked to climate change are reduced and conservation and sustainable managament of ecosystems and species in the country is encouraged.
The permanent monitoring of conservation priority ecosystems, such as the dry forest, is essential to understand ecological dynamics and propose actions for its integrated management.
Developing and implementing tools and strategies that ensure the comprehensive conservation of biodiversity is a priority in Colombian cities. In this way, biodiversity may be integrated in decision making processes that are related to the planning and environmental management of cities.
