Over 50 nations have convened in Santa Marta, Colombia, for the world's first international summit dedicated to planning a coordinated phaseout of fossil fuels.
Frustrated by slow progress at previous global climate talks, these countries aim to create a concrete roadmap for transitioning away from oil, gas, and coal, even as ongoing geopolitical crises and energy shocks highlight the urgency of the shift. The summit brings together governments, Indigenous leaders, faith groups, and civil society to discuss actionable steps, with a focus on ensuring a just and equitable transition. Organizers hope the conference will spark a 'coalition of the willing' to lead global efforts, moving from pledges to real implementation.
The outcome could reshape the global energy market, accelerate investment in renewables, and reduce the influence of major polluters.
