"Almost 60 countries, representing about a third of the global economy, met in
the Colombian port city of Santa Marta last week for the first international
summit on the transition away from fossil fuels.
It was hailed as a bold step to shift global dependence on hydrocarbons into an
era of clean energy. The group of 57 countries, including Australia, Canada,
Norway and Brazil, launched a new international process to coordinate the
global phase out of coal, oil and gas. This historic shift brings us closer to
the end of fossil fuels.
Irene Vélez Torres, Colombia’s environment minister and chair of the talks,
said: “We decided that the transition away from fossil fuels could no longer
remain a slogan but must become a concrete, political and collective
endeavour.”
Here are five key developments from Santa Marta."
