Claudia Martinez Zuleta, CDKN's country leader for Colombia, speaks about Colombia's vulnerability to climate change and the opportunities for climate compatible development. Cartegena, a city facing threats from extreme flooding, presents an interesting case study for climate compatible development.

The complex challenges faced by Colombia as a result of its diverse ecosystem also present unique opportunities. The range of programmes in place to adapt to many situations, different ecosystem impacts and a wide range of people focus on safe-guarding the livelihoods of Colombians and key industries. Colombia also lacks infrastructure, so the government is investing in one that is both resilient and cost-effective to support the needs of Colombians.

Claudia is interviewed by Mairi Dupar, CDKN Global Public Affairs Co-ordinator, as part of the 'CDKN in conversation' video series.
