At a global conference in Colombia, officials and experts highlighted the critical lack of financing as a major obstacle to transitioning from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources. The event in Santa Marta comes amid increasing pressure on governments to move beyond mere climate pledges and develop actionable plans for phasing out oil, gas, and coal, which are significant contributors to global warming. Despite U.N. climate talks recognizing the need for such a transition, tangible mechanisms for support remain scarce, leaving countries to face economic challenges independently.
