The First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels was held in April in Santa Marta, Colombia. More than 60 countries participated in this international event organised by the host country and the Netherlands.

In the days leading up to the conference, civil society organisations and social movements convened the People’s Summit for a Fossil Free Future, where they led the way through people-centred proposals and real-world experiences towards a truly just transition, free from false solutions and corporate capture.
