Transition away from fossil fuels

Moving away from fossil fuels represents a huge challenge, but one that is essential in the coming decades. At the 1st International Conference on the Phase-out of Fossil Fuels, to be held in Santa Marta, Colombia, on April 28 and 29, 2026, researchers from the International Research Center on Environment and Development (CIRED) will present their work:

• What public policies are needed to address the consequences of a rapid coal phase-out? A comparison of China, India, Colombia, and South Africa - Clémence Guédra, Christophe Cassen, Thomas Le Gallic
• How a coalition of countries can save the climate - Adrien Fabre

The webinar will be held in French (registration is free but required).
