My dear fellow ambassadors, the article that, due to its relevance, I will have to take some time to condense. A few days ago the levels of contamination in some cities were in danger limits, the largest cities in Colombia .... Our capital Bogota and The city more "Technically capital" Medellin present levels of risk orange and red in some stations of measurement of pollution, try to be as brief as possible but I fear that this subject is more treacherous than only the quality and the condition of the air. This issue is more precise to the health of the inhabitants of our country, not only those cities present an increase in pollution, and recapitulating Bogota, the current administration does not see the "nesecidad" of establishing routes of management in the face of these particularities because " It is a problem that has been created for a long time and we can not change it from day to day ", knowing that the city had a model prosopero to the sotenibilidad, awarded in the international summit of mayors and being point of reference for cities around the world .... Colombia has the privilege of having natural purifiers, gallery forests, high mountains, wetlands, we stop, and parts of jungles .... These ecosystems are put at risk with this way of life and development of cities. For little but not least, I wanted to inform that these days we are also finishing our inventories of atmospheric substances and potential materials of affection. Synthesizing, At a general level in Colombia we have an index of atmospheric pollution that can grow to levels of both human and environmental danger, the initiatives of resilient cities and projects of reduction of gases and reforestations are facing the first line to the contamination that is Extends from the most important capital cities of the country I say goodbye with a strong and very fraternal hug to you and asking for excuses for the date, here is still March 20 and I take this time to analyze the data and news to write this article. |

Daniel, thank you for the report. I see the situation is at risk, but I am sorry to hear that the government has not yet realized that the situation is severe. If you analyze some data and write more about the issue I would be glad to read it. Also if there comes any change in Colombia please tell us.

Air pollution has become one of the most important concerns worldwide, Colombia is no exception. Bogota being the largest urban center in Colombia it also has the highest rates of environmental deterioration in the country due to dramatic increase in it's air pollution which seems to be attributed to the uncontrolled increase in the number of vehicles in the city. Sad indeed! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Daniel, i feel sorry for the current status of your city and country.
As you know, it's happening everywhere in our globe and driving all of us to danger.
That's why we need to build international consensus on the seriousness of the issue and take actions as soon as possible.
I cannot agree with you more regarding your statement that 'we are finishing our inventories of atmospheric substances'.
All the bests!
