Colombia and the Netherlands are hosting a conference in Santa Marta to discuss transitioning away from fossil fuels, addressing economic and national security risks. The failure of COP 30 has led to the creation of a "coalition of the willing" to work on practical steps for a global energy transition, including phasing out fossil fuels. Clean energy adoption is becoming more cost-effective, offering greater energy security and protection from global shocks. The conference aims to provide a concrete course of action for transitioning away from fossil fuels, addressing challenges such as fossil fuel subsidies and industry lobbying. It emphasizes the importance of developing taxonomies aligned with net zero scenarios and committing to phasing out fossil fuel use for a sustainable future.
