Colombia, a major producer of coal, oil, and gas, is working to shift its economy away from fossil fuels, which are a leading cause of climate change. This week, Colombia and the Netherlands hosted a conference in Santa Marta to discuss reducing fossil fuel use. Representatives from over 50 countries attended to explore ways to cut fossil fuel production and promote cleaner energy. The conference launched a new scientific panel on energy transition, aiming to turn ambitious goals into action. The urgency to move away from fossil fuels is heightened by a global energy crisis, partly due to conflicts affecting oil and gas supplies. Countries like Vanuatu, threatened by rising sea levels, are increasing solar projects and adopting electric vehicles. This shift is supported by the growing affordability of renewable energy sources compared to traditional fossil fuels.
