Pathways for a TAFF Roadmap

This discussion paper by the NewClimate Institute explores potential frameworks for the 'Roadmap for Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels' (TAFF Roadmap), an initiative announced by the Brazilian Presidency at COP30. The paper suggests that a 'Coalition Roadmap' led by high-ambition first-mover countries is the most feasible way to maximize impact given current political divisions.

• The Brazilian Presidency introduced the 'Roadmap for Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels' (TAFF Roadmap) at COP30 as a flagship initiative, but failed to achieve clear consensus in the cover decision because of divisions among Parties. To continue progress, the Presidency intends to create a science-based and inclusive roadmap before COP31 in Antalya.
• The First International Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels is set for 24-29 April 2026 in Santa Marta, and its results are intended to inform the Presidency's Roadmap, as the roadmap's specific content, process, and objectives are currently undefined.
• The paper argues that a 'Coalition Roadmap'—led by a group of committed countries—is the most effective and feasible option in the current political climate. This approach would involve the COP30 Presidency publishing a high-ambition roadmap, inviting first-mover countries to endorse it, and establishing a recurring forum to coordinate policies, pathways, and shared targets.
