Colombia is hosting a significant gathering of around 60 countries, reflecting mounting impatience with the slow pace of global climate negotiations. The meeting signals a strong desire to exit fossil fuels as the world grapples with a deepening energy crisis. This comes in the wake of an agreement at COP28 in Dubai, where countries pledged to transition away from fossil fuels but made little progress. The urgency of this issue is underscored by the frustration with the lack of advancement in tackling climate change. These talks could have far-reaching implications for the future of global energy policy and climate action.
