	Stage	Sector name	Sub-sector	Objective
NAMA for the domestic refrigeration sector in Colombia	Implementation	Industry Waste	Energy efficiency	The objective of the NAMA is to reduce emissions from the domestic refrigeration sector by providing technical support and capacity building.
Transit-oriented development	Implementation	Transport Buildings		The Colombian NAMA aims to construct lasting infrastructure and buildings that will lock in efficient land use and travel patterns.
Unilateral NAMA: Sustainable road-based freight transport Colombia	Implementation	Transport		Accelerate the renovation of the cargo vehicle fleet with the aim to improve economic competitiveness and environmental performance of the freight transport sector.
NAMA Habitat	Under development	Buildings		The objective of the NAMA is to improve planning, coordination and intervention of improvement measures in urban areas.
Public Lighting Energy Efficiency	Under development	Energy		The objective of the NAMA is to modernize public lighting.
NAMA Technology Transfer in the Industrial Sector of the Cundinamarca-Bogotá Region	Under development	Industry		The objective of the NAMA is to promote technology transfer through the development of NAMA pilot projects in the industrial sector of the Cundinamarca-Bogota region, in line with Colombia’s low carbon development strategy.
Sustainable Bovine Livestock	Under development	Agriculture	Livestock	The objective of the NAMA is to diminish the GHG emissions generated in cattle production and increase the carbon sinks of the pasture agro-ecosystems, through an environmental and productive management system at a regional level, promoting conservation and/or restoration of natural ecosystems, encouraging sustainable productive landscapes through the harmonization of the different public policy tools.
NAMA TAnDem	Under development	Transport		The objective of the NAMA, also called NAMA for Active Transport and Demand Management, is to improve the quality of urban live and contribute to climate change mitigation through an increasing use of bicycles and a responsible use of motorized transport.
Energy with Renewable Sources in non-interconnected areas	Under development	Energy	Renewable energy (solar) Renewable energy (wind) Low carbon fuels	The objective of the NAMA is to establish electrification solutions in non-interconnected areas with alternative sources.
Recycling Program NAMA	Under development	Waste	Solid waste management	The NAMA will support the Colombian government in transforming the solid waste sector by overcoming various existing policy, financial, market and social barriers. The cornerstones of the NAMA are regulatory changes, the promotion of alternative waste treatment technologies, creation of appropriate financial mechanisms, and the integration of informal recyclers into the formal sector.
Productive and Technological Reconversion of Colombia's Panela Sector	Under development	Agriculture	Crops (incl. NO2 from fertilizer use)	The NAMA seeks to implement strategies towards GHG and pollutant reduction across the Panela sector, focusing on three main technology areas: crop processes, mills technological upgrading and use of sub-products.
Sustainable Waste Management	Under development	Waste	Solid waste management	The objective of the NAMA is to focus on sustainable waste management through a shift from landfilling to alternative waste treatments, including composting, mechanical biological treatment and waste-to-energy.
