Coalition to move away from fossil fuels presses ahead without Colombia, its original champion
The coalition will release a progress report and new national plans as 57 countries push to turn climate pledges into policy.
- On Sunday, a 57-country coalition at the COP31 summit in Antalya, Turkey, unveiled new national transition plans to reduce fossil fuel dependence, pressing ahead despite Colombia's withdrawal.
- Colombia withdrew following the election of President Abelardo de la Espriella, who took office in August prioritizing revival of the nation's oil and gas industry over the Santa Marta coalition's fossil fuel transition goals.
- Since the 2023 COP28 summit in Dubai, where nearly 200 nations agreed to transition without binding timetables, progress has remained limited, with only 23 countries announcing national road maps.
- Ireland and the Pacific nation of Tuvalu will assume leadership of the initiative, preparing events ahead of a second international conference scheduled for July 2027.
- Policy expert Fanny Petitbon of environmental group 350.org warns that dropping contested proposals could undermine the summit's ambition, as financing remains a significant obstacle for developing countries dependent on fossil fuel revenues.
