Cómo cubrir la Conferencia para la Transición más allá de los Combustibles Fósiles

The First Conference for the Transition beyond Fossil Fuels, held in Santa Marta, Colombia, from April 24 to 29, aims to establish practical solutions for phasing out coal, oil, and gas. Co-sponsored by Colombia and the Netherlands, the event brings together at least 45 countries, including major exporters like Canada and Australia, though the largest producers—the US, China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia—are absent. The conference seeks to bypass the consensus-based delays of UN COPs to produce a report for COP30 and COP31, focusing on eliminating fossil fuel subsidies, planning production decline, and increasing renewable energy demand within a just transition framework.

• The First Conference for the Transition beyond Fossil Fuels takes place in Santa Marta, Colombia, from April 24 to 29, with the goal of discussing how to move away from coal, oil, and gas due to worsening climate change and oil price increases linked to the war in Iran.
• The conference is a 'coalition of the willing' involving at least 45 countries, emerging from frustration over the lack of direct mentions of abandoning fossil fuels at the COP in Belém, Brazil, where consensus-based decision-making often dilutes agreements.
• While the event does not replace UN negotiations, it aims to implement practical solutions because fossil fuels account for 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Participants include developing oil powers (Mexico, Brazil), large exporters (Canada, Norway, Australia), and coal markets (Turkey, Vietnam), but exclude the US, China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia.
• Expected outcomes include a report for the COP30 (Brazil) and COP31 (co-chaired by Australia and Turkey) presidencies, the creation of a long-term platform with a potential second conference in 2027, and concrete measures to phase out fossil fuel subsidies, plan production decline, and reduce demand via renewables and consumption changes.
