Deforestation is a lens through which policy coherence and social challenges can be analysed, as it hinders sustainable development, fuels social conflict and exacerbates inequality. Colombia struggles to balance trade-offs between economic, social and environmental goals. This conflict contributes to inconsistencies in policy formulation and implementation, which can hinder progress toward achieving deforestation reduction goals.
