However, we also face inequality, corruption, and an extractivist economic model.

Solarpunk offers an alternative vision: a society where technology and ecology coexist in harmony, driving innovation for collective well-being. Colombia has the potential to become a model for this regenerative future.

1. Renewable Energy and Decentralization

Colombia has enormous energy potential but continues to rely on hydroelectric power and fossil fuels.

The country has passed laws promoting renewable energy (Law 1715 of 2014 and Law 2099 of 2021), but they have mostly benefited large corporations instead of decentralizing access to clean energy.

Corruption cases, such as the failed project in La Guajira and opaque contracts in the Urrá Hydroelectric Project, have slowed real progress.

To transform Colombia into a Solarpunk destination, we need:

• Incentives for energy microgrids in both rural and urban communities.
• Investment in solar panels and small-scale wind turbines.
• Tax incentives for those who adopt renewable energy.

2. Regenerative Agriculture and Food Sovereignty

Colombia’s agricultural model depends on monoculture and agrochemicals, which degrade soils and make farmers dependent on large corporations.

The Solarpunk approach proposes:

• Agroforestry and permaculture to restore degraded ecosystems.
• Urban and community gardens to reduce reliance on large supply chains.
• Blockchain for food traceability, ensuring transparency in production.

3. Smart and Sustainable Cities

Colombian cities are growing without proper planning, creating problems in mobility and pollution.

To make them more sustainable, key actions include:

• Green infrastructure: green roofs, vertical gardens, and ecological corridors.
• Efficient public and electric transport, prioritizing bicycles and trams.
• Bioclimatic architecture to reduce energy consumption.

4. Digital Economy and Funding Systems

To finance the Solarpunk transition, Colombia must adopt new digital economy models:

• Cryptocurrencies and DeFi to reduce reliance on traditional banking.
• Crowdfunding and micro-investments to finance community projects.
• Subscription and SaaS models to support a circular economy.

Conclusion: A Solarpunk Future for Colombia

Colombia’s current development model has generated exclusion and dependency.

However, transitioning to a regenerative model is possible. Decentralizing energy, ensuring food sovereignty, promoting sustainable urbanism, and fostering a digital economy are key to achieving this vision.

The future will not arrive on its own—we build it with every decision we make today.

Colombia: A Solarpunk Destination in the Making

The future is not written. We are building it with every decision we make today.

Colombia is a country of contrasts. We have unique biodiversity, a vibrant culture, and a diverse geography.

However, we also face inequality, corruption, and an extractivist economic model.
