The publication 'Energy Transition Legal Framework in Colombia' provides an extensive overview of the nation’s efforts to develop a sustainable, inclusive energy transition rooted in both policy and social justice. Central to Colombia’s approach is the National Development Plan, a government roadmap guiding renewable energy expansion, climate resilience, and the reduction of socio-economic disparities linked to energy access.

With its electricity matrix dominated by hydropower, Colombia benefits from a relatively low-carbon energy profile yet remains vulnerable to climate variability, underscoring the need for diverse renewable sources.

Colombia’s framework integrates Indigenous rights, gender equality, and community participation, seeking to democratise energy access through initiatives like energy communities, which enable localised energy production.

Laws focused on transparency, environmental protection, and social equity further support a just transition, promoting both environmental goals and economic stability.
