""Let this conference be the moment when ambition becomes action. Let's make this a turning point in history," said Colombia's environment minister Irene Velez Torres."
"The current fossil fuel shortages have created what the Executive Director of the International Energy Agency, Fatih Birol, has called 'the mother of all energy crises.'"
Colombia is a significant global coal producer and is diversifying its economy away from fossil fuels. The country is co-hosting the 'Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels' conference with the Netherlands, involving over 50 countries. The conference aims to discuss strategies for phasing out oil, gas, and coal amidst a global energy crisis exacerbated by geopolitical tensions. Countries like Vanuatu are also feeling the urgency to transition, increasing solar projects and electrifying government vehicles in response to rising sea levels and fossil fuel dependency.
