LACADI developed the first Case Study on the current state of retail investment in sustainable finance in Colombia, a comprehensive analysis that examines the national ecosystem, maps the supply of green instruments and proposes a strategic roadmap to strengthen the participation of individual investors in climate action. The study was prepared between September and November 2025 and gathered technical inputs from LACADI’s research team, as well as national and international references.
The white paper analyzes the availability and scope of sustainable instruments in the country, including traditional products, fintech, crowdfunding platforms and solidarity economy schemes. It also identifies key gaps, access challenges and opportunities to expand retail participation in sustainable finance, highlighting the potential for individual investors to mobilize capital for environmental and social projects.
The Case Study contributes to understanding how savers and small investors can actively participate in the climate transition through accessible and reliable financial products. It also promotes financial education and transparency, key elements to strengthen public confidence and energize a market that can accelerate mitigation, adaptation and biodiversity protection. To ensure continuity with the recommendations made, LACADI is currently working on the development of a website that will expand access to information, facilitate understanding of the sustainable financial instruments available in the country and support informed decision-making.
