Camino Hacia Carbono Neutral -CHCN Road to Carbon Neutral This project seeks to empower government officials, entrepreneurs, journalists and civil society from local territories in Colombia to create visions and projects on decarbonisation in the energy and transport sectors. •	Strengthen  the  technical  capacities  of  public  officials  in  the  departmental  and municipal government offices to plan solutions that contribute to the reduction of  greenhouse  gas  emissions  (GHG)  in  alignment  with  Colombia’s  Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and the E2050 Long-Term Strategy for Climate Resilience.
•	Build  impactful  local  narratives  for the promotion of a productive low-carbon economy for the benefit of local communities Municipal governments
The project will work with both current municipal decision-makers (2020-2023), aspiring candidates and future decision-makers (2024-2027) including lawmakers, by engaging them in capacity building workshops in order to improve their understanding of the department’s decarbonisation vision, its importance and prioritized actions. 
Departmental governments
The project will continue to engage with secretaries and governors, both current (2020-2023), aspiring candidates and new secretaries and governors (2024-2027) 
Private sector and Academia
The project will create several new public-private spaces for articulation - workshops, working groups and business fairs - in order to spur investment in decarbonisation.
Journalists and communicators
Building on the journalist workshops initiated in February 2022, the project will create a new communications campaign on visions, actions and narratives for radio stations and other community-based media in order to broadcast regional and local success stories around decarbonisation.
Women, youth and marginalised groups 
An important aspect of the extension (2022-2023) of the project is the inclusion of youth, women, indigenous and afro descendant communities in the decarbonisation of their territories. By training local leaders who are multipliers and catalysts of actions across hundreds of municipalities, the project will work, brick by brick, to build a decarbonisation movement across Colombia Activities
During  the first phase (2021-2022) the primary departmental governments - Antioquia, Atlántico, Boyacá, Cundinamarca and Valle del Cauca - developed new narratives on decarbonisation, including visions and prioritized actions in the energy and transport sectors. The first extension (2022-2023) aims to strengthen the capacities of these Colombian territories at the municipal level so that the new narratives and visions are implemented and incorporated into relevant planning/development instruments. This phase is willing to promote and support action, by identifying and articulating decarbonisation actions with the private/financial sector and by engaging regional and local legislative bodies that will support regulation development to unlock the process.
The project takes into account the municipal/departmental elections in 2023, and will be providing new governors, secretaries, regional and local lawmakers, mayors and their teams with capacity building on opportunities and mechanisms for specific actions to be incorporated into their territorial development plans and regulations, as well as bringing them up to date on the implementation of decarbonisation actions in their territory
The project will deliver a toolkit for incorporation of visions in municipal planning/development instruments at the beginning of the extension, and again after the 2023 municipal/departmental elections. All of the materials will be made available and shared through the project’s e-learning platform. This information will be delivered through working sessions tailored for the new governors, secretaries, lawmakers, mayors and their teams.
 Although the project will expand to more on-the-ground activities (workshops, leadership camps, business fairs, etc.), it will continue to broaden its communications and social media strategy
