An international coalition is moving ahead with efforts to reduce dependence on fossil fuels despite the withdrawal of Colombia, one of its founding members.
The initiative, launched in Colombia in April, brings together representatives from 57 countries seeking to turn global commitments into national policies to reduce the use of coal, oil and gas.
The coalition is expected to release a progress report and announce additional national plans during the COP31 climate conference in Türkiye.
Ireland and the Pacific island nation of Tuvalu are preparing to take over leadership of the initiative from Colombia and the Netherlands. A second international conference is planned for July 2027.
The initiative aims to help countries develop practical plans for cleaner energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Climate experts say stronger national policies, clear targets and financial support will be essential to achieve meaningful progress.
The move comes as governments continue discussions on global climate action and the transition towards cleaner energy sources.
