Climate emergency
Colombia's Contraloría General de la República reported that Decree 0150 of 2026, declaring an economic emergency in February due to the climate crisis, lacks solid calculation bases for requesting between $8.26 and $8.68 trillion pesos. The oversight body identified discrepancies in damage estimates, such as flooded areas, and the absence of a national articulated plan. This review responds to a request from the Constitutional Court.
