The landmark conference will provide a global platform for countries to cooperate on strategies to phase out oil, gas and coal extraction, complementing and reinforcing the Paris Agreement. It also aligns with the historic International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion (ICJAO), which recognizes States’ legal obligation to protect the climate, including by addressing fossil fuel production.
The decision to convene this conference was reached by the 17 countries participating in discussions to develop a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. Participating nations agreed to advance a series of diplomatic conferences starting in 2026, to foster international cooperation for a just transition away from fossil fuels.
Hon. Irene Vélez Torres, Minister in Charge of Environment and Sustainable Development of Colombia, said: “Colombia is proud to host the First International Conference for the Phase-out of Fossil Fuels in 2026. This historic gathering will be a pivotal moment for the Global South to lead the charge in transforming our energy systems and addressing the intertwined crises of climate and justice. Together, we will chart a path that prioritizes life, equity, and sustainability over destruction and inequality. This is our moment, our mandate—to build a future beyond fossil fuels and ensure reparative justice for all.”
