  • A methodology was developed for the collection of secondary information in priority regions in five departments of Colombia (see links below), and a report of the Assessment on Existing Inventory and data was completed and validated.
  • A protocol of existing data assessment in Colombia was produced through the evaluation of current practices and definitions of how to determine measurements of emissions from brick production-based on current Colombian government regulations.
