Abstract

This document summarizes the findings of interviews and workshops in the sectors of Energy Efficiency and AFOLU. In Energy Efficiency, there is consensus among various stakeholders regarding the importance of regulations such as energy efficiency labeling, particularly benefiting SMEs. The need for government programs to focus on medium and large enterprises, which have the highest energy expenditure and potential for improvement, is emphasized. Projects with positive social profitability but low private profitability are identified, due to high initial costs and lack of financing. The lack of access to credit persists as a barrier. In the AFOLU sector, barriers such as information asymmetry, lack of structuring capabilities, and absence of financial instruments and forest technical assistance are recognized. There are differences between the public and private sectors regarding institutional proposals, with the private sector favoring the creation of the Forest Financial Fund and the State Industrial and Commercial Company or a Mixed Economy Company. The potential of the carbon market and forest economy in Colombia is highlighted.
