The roadmap should provide recommendations on the circularity and valorisation of crop residues. This request will support Colombia in meeting its NDC commitments. The results of Colombia’s revised NDC modelling scenarios for black carbon and methane will serve as a technical basis for this work. This request will also build on the recommendations proposed by a CCAC supported consultancy on alternatives to agricultural open burning of sugar cane, rice, and maize residues.
