Colombia has entered the El Niño weather pattern without a comprehensive national plan to address its impacts. The Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology and Environmental Studies (IDEAM) forecasts this episode will be one of the most intense in decades, potentially exceeding temperature variations of 2°C. These effects are expected to persist through 2027. Concerns are rising regarding the country’s readiness to mitigate the consequences of this significant climate event. The lack of a robust plan raises questions about potential disruptions to agriculture, water resources, and public health. Authorities are urged to develop and implement strategies to minimize the damage from the anticipated extreme weather conditions. The situation highlights a critical gap in Colombia’s climate resilience infrastructure.
