#SantaMartaConference

Most COPs were abject failures considering the political machinations of self-serving fossil fuel lobbyits that made all of them (with the possible excpetion of the first one in Paris) tawdry affairs achieving nothing concrete to wean the world off its dependence on buring carbon.

With this first international conference on ending our obsession with oil and its byproducts the ground rules have been reset;

“The Parliamentarians for a Fossil Fuel Free Future initiative started off the parliamentarian meetings processes. Their call is for a clear phase-out of fossil fuels, and critically, an end to the public subsidies that continue to prop them up.

The Fossil Free Rising declaration captures this mood succinctly: governments cannot claim climate leadership while expanding fossil fuel production and financing the very industries driving the crisis.

Bringing it back to Australia

Australia finds itself in an increasingly uncomfortable position.

While no Minister level delegates have attended, they are dealing with political challenges over fossil fuels and gas taxation at home, a handful of federal government representatives are in Santa Marta, joining more than 80 countries that have committed to phasing out fossil fuels following discussions at the 2025 United Nations General Assembly in Belém.”

The conversations in Santa Marta are quietly radical, and difficult for Australia to ignore

At the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels in Santa Marta, co-hosted by Colombia and the Netherlands, conversations are circling back to first principles — what the science says, and what it would mean to act accordingly.

The Point

"C'est officiel : la France ne brûlera plus de charbon en 2030, plus de pétrole en 2045 et plus de gaz fossile en 2045"

Dans un peu moins de 20 ans ?! Mes dieux que c'est loin ! Il faut revoir la copie. L'urgence climatique, c'est maintenant !

Fin du pétrole en 2045, du gaz en 2050 : en Colombie, la France officialise sa trajectoire de sortie des énergies fossiles

Pas si fossile. Alors que les négociations climatiques internationales patinent, une cinquantaine de pays volontaires se réunissent à Santa Marta en Colombie pour tenter d’avancer sur l’indispensable sortie des énergies fossiles, ces 28 et 29 avril. L’occasion pour la France de formaliser sa propre trajectoire.

The #SantaMartaConference comes at a decisive geopolitical moment and for Europe - phasing out fossil-fuels is a question of security, resilience and long-term prosperity. The EU has opportunity: end its own fossil fuel dependence and actively contribute to shaping of a global transition framework
As 50+ countries head to the #SantaMartaConference on transitioning away from fossil fuels, a broad global coalition of civil society organisations has launched the People’s Declaration. The declaration sets out a unified vision for a fossil-free future. #FossilFreeFuture #JustTransitionNow

E se una crisi economica dovuta al costo dell’energia fossile fosse il momento giusto per abbandonarlo, il fossile? È la speranza che anima la Conferenza sull’abbandono dei combustibili fossili aperta ieri a Santa Marta, in Colombia.
