Cortolima's Action Plan 2020-2023

Cortolima (Corporación Autónoma Regional del Tolima) is a decentralized corporate entity that fulfills an administrative function of the State and is therefore of a public nature. It was created by Law 10 of 1981 and modified by Law 99 of 1993, has administrative and financial autonomy, its own assets and legal status, and was mandated by law to manage the environment and renewable natural resources within the area of its jurisdiction, in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development. In order to fulfill its functions in the 2020-2023 period, it formulated an Action Plan with the participation of civil society. The Plan was drafted in virtual roundtables, in which citizens discussed the environmental problems of their territory and formulated solutions. Representatives of trade unions, academia, productive sectors, civil society organizations, and indigenous communities participated in the roundtables.
