The Financial Superintendence of Colombia has certified 253 employees after a training program designed to strengthen supervision of environmental, social and climate risk management across the Colombian financial system. The training supports the authority’s oversight of supervised entities’ implementation of External Circular 0015 of 2025, which requires firms to identify, measure, control and monitor environmental, social and climate risks as part of risk management aimed at minimizing financial impacts. The program was delivered between April and July in three 14-hour cycles by the Global Green Growth Institute, with support from UK PACT, under a sustainable finance and environmental, social and climate risk management initiative. Training combined lectures, practical exercises and technical exchanges, covering sustainable finance fundamentals and regulation, climate and nature risks, Environmental and Social Risk Management Systems, social risks and a Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion approach, and international reporting and disclosure standards. The Global Green Growth Institute is set to continue supporting Colombia as a technical partner to help advance adoption of international standards and strengthen institutional capacity linked to sustainable finance supervision.
