Building upon previous work at the national level, this 2022 Dow Distinguished Award-winning team, in collaboration with UN-Habitat, advanced urban policy analysis in the Andean city of Bucaramanga, Colombia. The goal was to better understand how the municipality incorporates national and subnational policies and instruments to mitigate emissions and promote climate change adaptation. The team focused on vulnerable human settlements, meeting with local and national officials to devise site-specific recommendations.
