Law 1450, establishing the National Development Plan 2010–2014
The Law addresses environmental sustainability and risk prevention as one of the bases of the plan. It further orders there to be territorial and sectoral adaptation plans.
It foresees the implementation of a National Climate Change Policy and the design of a National Climate Change System. The law also call for the identification and prioritisation of climate change adaptation measures in the framework of a National Adaptation Plan and the strengthening of data generation for sectoral and territorial vulnerability analysis. Finally, it proposes the adoption of a low-carbon development strategy including emission reductions from avoided deforestation and the identification of commercial barriers associated with carbon footprint standards and labelling schemes.
