Colombia has been a pioneer in adopting ambitious policies that seek to meet its climate commitments, such as a 51% reduction in emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050. These goals are especially relevant in regions such as Caquetá, the region with the third-highest greenhouse gas emissions.
Livestock and cacao are important value chains in this region of the Amazon, not only because of their economic value, but also because of their capacity to contribute to rural development and peace building in areas affected by years of conflict. The study in Caquetá revealed which stages of these production chains generate the most emissions.
