The post-fossil world begins to take shape in Santa Marta
What Was Reported
InfoAmazonia reports that the First Conference on Transition Away from Fossil Fuels convened in Santa Marta, Colombia, with participating nations discussing pathways to move beyond oil, gas and coal. Organizers framed the meeting as the start of an ongoing process rather than a one-off event.
Why It Matters
A fossil-fuel phase-out led from within Latin America, rather than dictated from outside it, could reshape the politics of Amazon oil and gas. The test is whether the declarations in Santa Marta translate into contracts canceled and frontiers closed.
