Finally the use of Fossil Fuels will be eradicated worldwide!

Policy makers from more than 45 countries gather in Colombia for the First International Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels, marking the first time governments globally pledge to phase out fossil fuels into concrete policy!

Bruna Campos, senior campaigner, Offshore Oil and Gas, Centre for International Environmental Law (CIEL), said: “Safeguarding our ocean is a cornerstone of climate action and a prerequisite for a successful fossil fuel phaseout.

Transition plans must prioritize ending extraction in marine regions critical to ecological integrity, human rights, and climatic stability. By designating ‘fossil-free zones’ in vital habitats like coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass meadows, we accelerate the global shift away from fossil fuels.”

“Fossil Free Zones are one of the most concrete, actionable tools governments have to translate their commitment to transitioning away from fossil fuels into real, enforceable decisions on the ground,” said Ignacio Arroniz, senior associate at Earth Insight. “The First International Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels in Santa Marta is the moment for governments to add them to their national energy plans.”

More than 500 sites worldwide have Fossil-Free Zone, and the International Institute for Sustainable Development notes 58 active production restrictions across 25 countries and 27 subnational jurisdictions.
