Assessing the state of the environment in Colombia: What can we learn from the ESGAP analysis
Published on
As part of the ECOPRONAT research programme, AFD supports the development of methodologies for assessing environmental sustainability on a territorial scale using the ESGAP (Environmental Sustainability Gap) framework.
This framework uses science-based indicators to reveal the vulnerabilities of a territory in terms of sustainability. It produces an indicator based on a dashboard that tracks the state of 23 environmental functions (forestry and fisheries resources, acidification, water and air pollution, CO2 emissions, etc.). ESGAP can thus be used to guide public decision-making and take action in the most critical environmental areas.
The analysis was carried out in Colombia: find out more in this one pager.
