Fossil Fuel Phaseout Talks Begin With Half The Global Economy

The first global conference on phasing out fossil fuels opened in Santa Marta, Colombia, co-hosted with the Netherlands.

57 countries and stakeholders are discussing rules, roadmaps, finance, and science for a just and orderly exit from coal, oil, and gas.

The talks push fossil-fuel phaseout from climate advocacy into concrete economic planning.

The summit adds momentum to efforts like the Fossil Fuel Treaty initiative and the broader COP process.
