Santa Marta's Climate Talks Signal Break with Fossil Fuels
Colombia hosts the first conference on transitioning away from fossil fuels in Santa Marta, launching a bottom-up process to draft national roadmaps for phasing out coal, oil and gas in favor of renewables. The gathering aims to mobilize science, civil society and parliamentarians to accelerate decarbonisation, signaling a potential lasting shift in global energy—though progress hinges on financing, political will and overcoming entrenched fossil-fuel interests and domestic expansion.
