Fossil fuel phase-out summit in Colombia

Co-hosted by Colombia and the Netherlands, the summit seeks to build a framework for ending fossil fuel production rather than just reducing emissions.

Participating nations are frustrated with the influence of petrostates on COP summits, which they claim has stalled meaningful progress.

The meeting occurs as the Iran war highlights the global economy's dangerous reliance on volatile energy supplies.

Officials hope to generate a set of concrete proposals for a just transition that can be adopted by other nations.
