In response to escalating global tensions and volatile energy markets, representatives from approximately 50 nations will convene in Santa Marta, Colombia, for a pivotal summit focused on accelerating the transition from fossil fuels.
The conference, co-hosted by Colombia and the Netherlands, is a bid to move climate diplomacy forward by directly addressing fossil fuel production - an area notably missing from previous UN negotiations.
One key proposal expected to take center stage is the concept of 'fossil-free zones,' which aim to transform global climate objectives into tangible geographic policy changes, especially in ecologically sensitive areas.
