Could this conference be a ‘turning point’ for the world’s use of fossil fuels?

Colombia, a major coal, oil, and gas producer, is hosting an international conference with the Netherlands to discuss moving away from fossil fuels. This event, held in Santa Marta, involves over 50 countries and aims to find concrete ways to phase out these energy sources, which are the main contributors to climate change. The urgency of this transition is heightened by a global energy crisis caused by high oil and gas prices due to the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran. Countries like Vanuatu, threatened by rising sea levels, are pushing for more solar projects and electric vehicles. The shift to renewable energy is not only environmentally necessary but also economically beneficial, as solar and wind power are becoming cheaper than fossil fuels. This conference seeks to turn ambition into action for a sustainable future. QUESTION: How might the transition away from fossil fuels impact the job market and economy in countries like Colombia?
