"The landmark meeting, which began on 24 April and concluded yesterday, was proposed during last year's United Nations COP30 climate summit in Belem, Brazil."
"Oil-producing nations such as Saudi Arabia reportedly opposed attempts at that gathering to create a road map to cut the use of fossil fuels, which are the main source of global greenhouse-gas emissions."
"In Santa Marta, not only was the new panel called the Science Panel for the Global Energy Transition (SPGET) launched, but a separate group of researchers also took centre stage on 24 April to release a report listing 12 high-level actions that nations can take to support a fossil-fuel phase-out."
Representatives from over 50 nations convened in Santa Marta, Colombia, for the first global summit focused on phasing out fossil fuels. The meeting aimed to establish a Science Panel for the Global Energy Transition to guide countries in shifting to clean energy. This initiative arose after frustrations with oil-producing nations at the previous UN COP30 summit. Countries like Colombia and the Netherlands led the effort, inviting nations open to creating a roadmap for reducing fossil fuel use while excluding those opposed to such measures.
