Santa Marta Meeting Discusses Clean Energy Transition
A meeting was held in Santa Marta to discuss how the country can begin transitioning to clean energy. The summit was organized specifically to bypass the consensus principle that has slowed progress on fossil fuel issues in recent years. No final declaration or formal agreement was reached during the event. Scientists suggest that market forces alone will not achieve diversification and that governments must plan for it. The transition requires addressing how to replace revenues currently generated by fossil energy sources. The process involves planning for the reconversion of workers to ensure a just transition. The event was launched by Colombia and the Netherlands. More than 400, potentially up to 500, international scientists gathered in Santa Marta for the first two days of a conference.
