Colombia hosts first-ever conference on transitioning away from fossil fuels with nearly 60 countries

Colombia's government, through Environment Minister Irene Vélez Torres, convened the first-ever international conference dedicated to transitioning economies away from fossil fuels in Santa Marta on Wednesday evening. Nearly 60 countries participated, framed as a new method of global climate cooperation bringing together governments, parliamentarians, and civil society to accelerate decarbonization. The conference was positioned as a response to gridlock at U.N. climate talks and comes amid elevated oil and gas prices following geopolitical crises.
