"Retamal expressed that the broad international interest from all levels indicates a global recognition of the need to end the fossil fuel era, despite previous setbacks at COP."
"The conference aims to develop a practical and equitable plan to help the world reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, identifying necessary legal, economic, and social measures."
"Colombian Environment Minister Irene Velez Torres noted that the meeting includes not only countries on the front lines of climate change but also major fossil fuel producers."
Cristian Retamal, Chile's former negotiator at UN climate talks, is optimistic about the conference in Colombia aimed at transitioning from fossil fuels. Representatives from over 50 countries are gathering to create a practical plan to reduce reliance on coal, oil, and natural gas. The conference was prompted by frustrations from the previous UN climate conference, where a binding mandate to phase out fossil fuels was blocked. Major fossil fuel nations are participating, indicating a broad international interest in addressing climate change.
