France Unveils Plan to Ditch All Fossil Fuels by 2050
The plan formalizes existing climate targets and sets deadlines for coal, oil and gas as France seeks to cut fossil fuel use across its economy.
- France announced a "first of its kind" plan in Santa Marta, Colombia, to phase out coal by 2030, oil by 2045, and gas by 2050 during a global conference aimed at breaking reliance on fossil fuels.
- Frustration at the COP30 climate summit led to creation of the Santa Marta conference, co-hosted by Colombia and the Netherlands, after proposals for a global fossil fuel road map were blocked.
- France's envoy, Benoit Faraco, told AFP the road map "describes itself as a document that sets out of a pathway for a country to transition the whole economy away from fossil fuels."
- Nearly 60 nations are attending the event, including the European Union, Canada, Norway, Angola, Nigeria, and Tuvalu, representing diverse interests from major producers to small island states.
- Energy security remains a prominent theme as the conference occurs against a backdrop of soaring fuel prices and a global supply crunch stemming from the Iran war.
